error:InvalidValueError: setCenter: not a LatLng or LatLngLiteral: in property lat: not a number
The .value
attribute of a HTMLInputElement
returns the value as a string.
You have to parse the content of lat
and lng
with parseFloat()
before passing it to the maps API
function initAutocomplete() {
var lat = parseFloat(document.getElementById('lat').value);
var lng = parseFloat(document.getElementById('lng').value);
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: {
lat: lat,
lng: lng
},
zoom: 13,
mapTypeId: 'roadmap'
});
}
Just add "+" before your variables:
function initAutocomplete() {
var lat=document.getElementById('lat').value;
var lng=document.getElementById('lng').value;
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: {lat: +lat, lng: +lng},
zoom: 13,
mapTypeId: 'roadmap'
});}
