Google Maps API LatLng NaN - google-maps

Question

I'm struggling with the Google Maps JavaScript API v3. I need to create a new LatLng object with some specific coordinates. According to the API this one should simply do the trick:
myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng({lat: -34, lng: 151});
Currently doing so simply creates the desired object but with values representing NaN. So no matter what I'm doing, I can't create a proper LatLng object and even the docs aren't helping me much.

Answer 1

The google.maps.LatLng constructor takes two numbers as arguments, not a google.maps.LatLngLiteral.
myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng({lat: -34, lng: 151});
should be:
myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34, 151);
In many cases you can use a google.maps.LatLngLiteral instead of a google.maps.LatLng.
myLatLng = {lat: -34, lng: 151};
code snippet:
var geocoder;
var map;
function initialize() {
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34, 151);
var myLatLng2 = {
lat: -34.05,
lng: 151
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {
center: myLatLng,
zoom: 11,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng2,
map: map
})
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initialize);
