In my web application I am using the gmap javascript API (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/ ). I am using the code below inside a function to position/center the gmap once a user has pressed a button.
var position = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
map.setCenter(position);
This code uses the latitude and longitude. Instead of the latitude and longitude I would like to position/center the gmap based on a given keyword. For example, how can I position/center the gmap if the input is 'Paris'?
