Laravel - pass data from a function to another route's function

Current set-up:

At the moment, a user can search that calls the post route. It then returns various things based on the search to the route search.results where it's displayed in the URL as place/town.

How can I pass over the lat and lng variables form the search function to the showResults function. I have tried ->with() which returns null, and also including them in the current array of [$place, $town] but they're then included in the URL.

Routes:

Route::post('search', 'Controller@search')->name('search');
Route::get('{place}/{town}', 'Controller@showResults')->name('search.results');

Controller:

Search function:

public function search(Request $request)
{
    $place =$request->get('name');
    $lat = $request->get('lat');
    $lng = $request->get('lng');

    return redirect()->route('search.results', [$place, $town]);
}

showResults function (empty at the moment):

public function showResults()
{
  // I want to use lat and lng here.
}

You need to use the Laravel Session. 

return redirect()
    ->route('search.results', [$place, $town])
    ->with('lng', $lng)
    ->with('lat', $lat);

And in your fonction 

public function showResults(Request $request)
{
     $lat = $request->session()->get('lat');
     $lng = $request->session()->get('lng');
}
