InfoWindow & GeoCoder

Question

I have an issue with getting longitude and latitude values geocoded and then display the relevant address in an info window. I have tried multiple ways without success, however I must admit that I am not so familiar with javascript. I am continuously getting back as value : "undefined".

Here is a snippet of my code showing the main components:

var position = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude); var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); var address;

if (geocoder) {
    geocoder.geocode({ 'latLng': position }, function (results, status) {       
       if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
            address = (results[0].formatted_address);
       } else { 
            address = (position.coords.latitude + ', ' +  position.coords.longitude);
       }           
    }); 
}

var info = 
          ('<span class="txt_bld">Location:</span> '         + address                      + '<br />' +
          '<span class="txt_bld">Accuracy:</span> '          + position.coords.accuracy     + '<br />' +
          '<span class="txt_bld">Time:</span> '              +  position.timestamp);

Can anyone tell me how I can translate the lat/lng in position to an address in order to show them in my infowindow?

EDIT

Updated Code:
var position = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,position.coords.longitude); var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(); var address;

if (geocoder) {
    geocoder.geocode({ 'latLng': position }, function (results, status) {       
       if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
            address == (results[0].formatted_address);
       } else { 
            address == (position.coords.latitude + ', ' +  position.coords.longitude);
       }    
       var info = 
          ('<span class="txt_bld">Location:</span> '         + address                      + '<br />' +
          '<span class="txt_bld">Accuracy:</span> '          + position.coords.accuracy     + '<br />' +
          '<span class="txt_bld">Time:</span> '              + position.timestamp); 

        if(!infowindow){
            infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
                content: info
            });
        }else{
            infowindow.setContent(info);
        }

        google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
          infowindow.open(map,marker);    
          setTimeout(function () { 
            infowindow.close(); 
          }, 5000);
        });            
    }); 
}

if(!marker){ marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: position, map: this.map, icon: markericon, draggable:false }); }else{ marker.setPosition(point);
}

We are using geocoder to get Lat long by address, as we don't have Lat long so we need to find Lat long via geocoder. In case if we have Lat long coordinates then we can use direct

 var position = new google.maps.LatLng(markers[i][1], markers[i][2]);
            bounds.extend(position);
            marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                position: position,
                map: map,
                title: markers[i][0]
            });

The geocoder is asynchronous. You need to use the data it returns in the callback function. Something like this (not tested):

var position = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,position.coords.longitude); 
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var address;

if (geocoder) {
  geocoder.geocode({ 'latLng': position }, function (results, status) {       
   if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
        address = (results[0].formatted_address);
   } else { 
        address = (position.coords.latitude + ', ' +  position.coords.longitude);
   }           
   var info = 
      ('<span class="txt_bld">Location:</span> '         + address
       + '<br />' +
      '<span class="txt_bld">Accuracy:</span> '          + position.coords.accuracy
      + '<br />' +
      '<span class="txt_bld">Time:</span> '              +  position.timestamp);
    infowindow.setContent(info);
    infowindow.setPosition(position);
    infowindow.open(map);
  }); 
}
