Why does num's result is NaN. How do I use lat, lng at number? Possible duplication here , I am trying to use the first solution since the second solution does not work for me. Now I get stuck in this problem. Thank you in advance.

A google.maps.LatLng object doesn't have a documented lat property (or a lng property). It has a .lat() method which returns its latitude and a .lng() method which returns its longitude.

var num = (north.lat() + south.lat()) / 2;

code snippet:

var map;
function initialize() {
  var mapOptions = {
    zoom: 5,
    center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
    mapOptions);
  var polygonCoords = [
    new google.maps.LatLng(25.774252, -80.190262),
    new google.maps.LatLng(18.466465, -66.118292),
    new google.maps.LatLng(32.321384, -64.757370),
    new google.maps.LatLng(25.774252, -80.190262)
  var north = new google.maps.LatLng(),
    west = new google.maps.LatLng(),
    east = new google.maps.LatLng(),
    south = new google.maps.LatLng();
  north = polygonCoords[0];
  west = polygonCoords[0];
  east = polygonCoords[0];
  south = polygonCoords[0];
  for (i = 1; i < polygonCoords.length; i++) {
    if (north.lat() < polygonCoords[i].lat()) {
      north = polygonCoords[i];
    if (south.lat() > polygonCoords[i].lat()) {
      south = polygonCoords[i];
    if (west.lng() > polygonCoords[i].lng()) {
      west = polygonCoords[i];
    if (east.lng() < polygonCoords[i].lng()) {
      east = polygonCoords[i];
  var center = {};
  center.lat = (north.lat() + south.lat()) / 2;
  center.lng = (west.lng() + east.lng()) / 2;
  var num = (north.lat() + south.lat()) / 2;
  console.log(num);
  var polygon = new google.maps.Polygon({
    path: polygonCoords,
    map: map
  map.setCenter(center);
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
