How to get city from lat/lng with Google Maps V3?

This is what I've done :

var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var location = new google.maps.LatLng(45.930976,10.639744);

geocoder.geocode({ 'latLng': location  }, function(results, status) {
    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
        alert(results[1].address_components[0].long_name);
    }
});

but I'd like to prefeer not using address_components[i] which parameter, due to the fact it could be different for each request. How is the parameter to get the city? (or location, or country, and so on...).

Not sure if I'm reading the API right (Geocoding API doc), but it looks like it might be 'types:locality'
