Convert lat long string into google maps API LatLng Object
18,620
Assuming the lat/lng string looks like "10.5, -0.51"
function getLatLngFromString(ll) {
var latlng = ll.split(/, ?/)
return new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(latlng[0]), parseFloat(latlng[1]));
}
Should work

I am trying to convert a lat long string (53.3603, -6.315050000000042) into a google maps object in this format: B: -6.26747649999993 k: 53.339251
I have used this function which works for the long but returns Nan for the lat.
function getLatLngFromString(ll) { var lat = ll.replace(/\s*\,.*/, ''); // first 123 var lng = ll.replace(/.*,\s*/, ''); // second ,456 var locate = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(lat), parseFloat(lng)); return locate; } ;
I am storing the lat long in a html tag as it called to a list view connected to a map. It is stored here in the correct format however when I retrieve it using the jQuery .attr it converts it to a string.
var location = $(this).closest('.allList').attr("position");
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
