Google Geocode Status Always Empty

I am new to geocode. I am getting the zip code from the user finding the lat and long and comparing it with a set of nearby locations who latitude and longitude are present in a JS

Solution 1:

geocoder.geocode works asyncronously, so you need to wait untill its response will be delivered from google's servers,and only then use reponded data.Put your loop inside of callback:

  geocoder.geocode( { 'address': zip }, function(results, status) { // status is empty
    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
       var userLat = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
       var userLng = results[0].geometry.location.lng();
       userLatLng = results[0].geometry.location;
       for (var i = data.length-1; i--;) { 
          //loop body
       }
    }       
  });//end geocode
