Include lat and lng in autocomplete

[serval92]

Hi, Trent.

Could you add to your script an automatic geocoding to get lat and lng, please ? It would be very nice ! Thank you.

Hey serval,

You can currently get the lat and lng from the selected place by reading from the placeResult which is returned to the onChange callback. This would be easiest way to get the lat and lng each time a place is changed:

$("#myInput").geocomplete({
  onChange: function(name, result) {
    // this is the LatLng for the selected location
    var location = result.geometry.location;
  }
});

Thank you for your answer really fast ! I'm going to study that.

I have tried var location = result.geometry.location;. But couldn't get the lat and lng from the selected place.

Here is my output.

How could I get the lat and lng from the selected place?

result.geometry.location is a LatLng class which has the methods lat() and lng()

$("#myInput").geocomplete({
  onChange: function(name, result) {
    // this is the LatLng for the selected location
    var location = result.geometry.location;
    var lat = location.lat();
    var lng = location.lng();
  }
});
