Google maps API: get lat / long separately

After sending a geocode request and receiving a response with status OK, you can use results[0].geometry.location to retrieve both latitude and longitude.

But how do you get the lat / long separately? I can't find the right call in the Google maps API reference

<input id="pac-input" type="text" placeholder="Enter a location">
<div id="map"></div>

<script>

function initMap(){

var input = document.getElementById('pac-input');
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);

autocomplete.bindTo('bounds', map);
autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', function() {

    var place = autocomplete.getPlace();
    var lat = place.geometry.location.lat();
    var lng = place.geometry.location.lng();

});

});

</script>

results[0].geometry.location is a google.maps.LatLng object, it has a .lat() method that returns the latitude and a .lng() method that returns the longitude.

That location field is an object of type LatLng. To get the latitude, call it's lat() method. To get the longitude, call it's lng() method.

For example:

var latitude = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
var longitude = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
