How to get the center lat & lon of a polygon?
We can do it just by calling polygon.getBounds().getCenter()
// The Bermuda Triangle
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 triangle = new google.maps.Polygon({
paths: polygonCoords,
strokeColor: "#0000FF",
strokeOpacity: 0.8,
strokeWeight: 2,
fillColor: "#FF0000",
fillOpacity: 0.35
});
alert(triangle.getBounds().getCenter());
Note: in Google Maps JavaScript API v2, Polygon had a getBounds() method, but that doesn’t exist for v3 Polygon. You can find that method in this article.
