Google Maps Help (Long And Lat Not Working)

[Tenaciousmug]

$(document).ready(function() {
var lng = get_url_parameter('long');
var lat = get_url_parameter('lat');
if(lng==null && lat==null) {
 var mapOptions = {
  zoom: 8,
  center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
  mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
 };
} else {
 var mapOptions = {
  zoom: 8,
  center: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng),
  mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
 };
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
});

 

Now when the long and lat parameters in the URL are null, the map loads fine with the preset coordinates. But when the long and lat parameters are passed. For example, this is what I'm passing to the URL right now : long=2277103.99355757&lat=421953.402769517

It's grabbing the parameters as I did the whole alert(lat); and it alerts the appropriate value.

However, it won't load the map. It's just a grey block.

Anyone know the issue here??

Unless I'm forgetting something really important, those latitude and longitude numbers you're providing are way out of range.

Requinix is correct. Latitude goes from -90 to 90 and longitude goes from -180 to 180.

Hmm okay, thanks everyone. Let me ask my client that I'm doing this project for.

All of the coordinates are out of range then.. Hopefully I just have to convert them to something use a mathematical equation or something!

For example, this is what I'm passing to the URL right now : long=2277103.99355757&lat=421953.402769517

 

I dont belive those coordinates exist on the planet... Could be the issue you are seeing.
