LatLng class
google.maps.LatLng
class
A LatLng is a point in geographical coordinates: latitude and longitude.
 
- Latitude ranges between -90 and 90 degrees, inclusive. Values above or below this range will be clamped to the range [-90, 90]. This means that if the value specified is less than -90, it will be set to -90. And if the value is greater than 90, it will be set to 90.
- Longitude ranges between -180 and 180 degrees, inclusive. Values above or below this range will be wrapped so that they fall within the range. For example, a value of -190 will be converted to 170. A value of 190 will be converted to -170. This reflects the fact that longitudes wrap around the globe.
Notice that you cannot modify the coordinates of a
LatLng. If you want to compute another point, you have to create a new one. Most methods that accept LatLng objects also accept a LatLngLiteral object, so that the following are equivalent: 
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(-34, 151));
map.setCenter({lat: -34, lng: 151});
 The constructor also accepts LatLngLiteral and LatLng objects. If a LatLng instance is passed to the constructor, a copy is created. 
The possible calls to the constructor are below:
new google.maps.LatLng(-34, 151);
new google.maps.LatLng(-34, 151, true);
new google.maps.LatLng({lat: -34, lng: 151});
new google.maps.LatLng({lat: -34, lng: 151}, true);
new google.maps.LatLng(new google.maps.LatLng(-34, 151));
new google.maps.LatLng(new google.maps.LatLng(-34, 151), true);
Access by calling const {LatLng} = await google.maps.importLibrary("core"). 
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

LatLngLiteral interface
google.maps.LatLngLiteral
interface
Object literals are accepted in place of LatLng objects, as a convenience, in many places. These are converted to LatLng objects when the Maps API encounters them. 
Examples:
 map.setCenter({lat: -34, lng: 151});
 new google.maps.Marker({position: {lat: -34, lng: 151}, map: map}); LatLng object literals are not supported in the Geometry library.
| Properties | |
|---|---|
| lat | Type:   numberLatitude in degrees. Values will be clamped to the range [-90, 90]. This means that if the value specified is less than -90, it will be set to -90. And if the value is greater than 90, it will be set to 90. | 
| lng | Type:   numberLongitude in degrees. Values outside the range [-180, 180] will be wrapped so that they fall within the range. For example, a value of -190 will be converted to 170. A value of 190 will be converted to -170. This reflects the fact that longitudes wrap around the globe. |
