Google Maps HTML5 click to get lat, long

rated 0 times [ 168] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 49327 / 13 Years ago, sun, november 6, 2011, 12:00:00

I'm trying to build a mobile HTML5 webapp in which user can click on the map to get lat/long from Google Maps. Is there a code example? I tried googling but only found some website that does that but no soucecode example.

This is because I'm going to use HTML5 geolocation to display the current location first, but if it's not accurate then users can specify that by themselves.

Thanks a lot.

The code below will show you how to get the Long and Lat when the user clicks the map - Allow user to place marker on a google map

google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function( event ){

  alert( Latitude: +event.latLng.lat()+ +, longitude: +event.latLng.lng() ); 

});
