Google Maps API v3 Geocoder.geocode() argument "location" not works

Question

There is "location" property in GeocoderRequest object, that defines "LatLng about which to search. Optional.", I'm trying to use it, but it does not work:

geocoder.geocode( { address: control.value, location: new google.maps.LatLng(59.938531, 30.313497)}, function(results, status) {....})

For example, when I'm searching for some address in 59.938531, 30.313497, so results contains 2 objects, and the right address has index [1] but not [0].

Answer 1

location is not valid. You want either address or latLng.

The GeocodeRequest object literal contains the following fields:

{
 address: string,
 latLng: LatLng,
 bounds: LatLngBounds,
 language: string,
 region: string
}
