Google Places API why does it returns Lat and Lon under a different variable each time?

Question

This is driving me nuts, for some reason the API used to return the Lat and Lon like this: (I think it was like this):

place.geometry.location.y as Latitude

Answer 1

place.geometry.location consists by LatLng class. So if you want to get Latitude/Longitude, you should use like this code:

var lat = result[0].geometry.location.lat();
var lng = result[0].geometry.location.lng();

And the reference of the place.geometry.location is here. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#PlaceGeometry
