I am able to get get full address from current latitude and longitude. but how can I get only city name from full address. this is my code.

var geocoder;

geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude);

//alert(Else loop + latlng);

geocoder.geocode({

    'latLng': latlng

}, function(results, status) {

    //alert(Else loop1);

    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {

        if (results[0]) {

            var add = results[0].formatted_address;

            alert(Full address is:  + add);

        } else {

            alert(address not found);

        }

    } else {

        //document.getElementById(location).innerHTML=Geocoder failed due to:  + status;

        //alert(Geocoder failed due to:  + status);

    }

});

var geocoder;

geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();

var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude);



geocoder.geocode(

    {'latLng': latlng}, 

    function(results, status) {

        if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {

                if (results[0]) {

                    var add= results[0].formatted_address ;

                    var  value=add.split(,);



                    count=value.length;

                    country=value[count-1];

                    state=value[count-2];

                    city=value[count-3];

                    alert(city name is:  + city);

                }

                else  {

                    alert(address not found);

                }

        }

         else {

            alert(Geocoder failed due to:  + status);

        }

    }

);

Split the full address with , as delimiter and get the city name..
