How to use containsLocation in Google maps geometry library.

Question

I am trying to use the containsLocation from the Google geometry library, but can't get it to work...

var point = new google.maps.LatLng(51.331, 3.538);
var poly = [
 new google.maps.LatLng(51.401818509550615, 3.547626782103622),
 new google.maps.LatLng(51.397574277049365, 3.563607598960424),
 new google.maps.LatLng(51.398540111384975, 3.567880788749134),
 ... // it is a lot bigger
];

if(google.maps.geometry.poly.containsLocation(point, poly) == true) {
 alert("yes");
}

The Javascript console gives an error, but that points to a function in Google's lib. So I assume the problem should lie somewhere in this function.

Oke, stupid me

I was wrong using all the coords as an array, I had to use the created polygon object.

var polyOptions = {
 ...
}

draw = new google.maps.Polygon(polyOptions);
draw.setMap(map);

if(google.maps.geometry.poly.containsLocation(point, draw) == true) {
 alert("yes");
}

When I do this I get the error `Object [object Object] has no method 'get'` – Ray Suelzer Apr 19 '13 at 23:17
I am not sure, but i believe this was for API version 2. It did work back then... – Neograph734 Apr 21 '13 at 09:43

i had the same problem ([object Object]), I could solve that creating the polygon variable like that: draw = new google.maps.Polygon({paths:polyOptions});

Then the problem disappeared.
