I know how to use an overlay projection to get a LatLng object, and then convert that single LatLng to pixels, using .fromLatLngToDivPixel()

However, .getBounds() returns a pair of LatLng coordinates. I've tried accessing it like it's an array (as in specifying index[1] for example) but that does not work. It doesn't seem to be an array.

Is there a way to convert the value from .getBounds() to pixel data?

• 1 It's so much more polite and reputable of you to point it out to me, considering that you can tell that I am unable to find it, rather than passive aggressively call me an idiot and not assist me in finding it at all. – Josh B Commented Feb 1, 2013 at 22:04
• 1 I was not asking for "the value" of a LatLngBounds object. If you had read my question with any sort of care, you would notice I was referring to the value that is returned from .getBounds(). Your attitude towards answering my question straightly from the beginning is what is rude. Don't even try and flip the script. You know exactly what you are doing here. – Josh B Commented Feb 1, 2013 at 22:41

However, .getBounds() returns a pair of LatLng coordinates. I've tried accessing it like it's an array (as in specifying index1 for example) but that does not work. It doesn't seem to be an array.

LatLngBounds is not an array, it's an object and the documentation shows you two methods to get the coordinates:

var NE = bounds.getNorthEast();
var SW = bounds.getSouthWest();

Those two methods return LatLng objects which you can pass to fromLatLngToDivPixel() However, if you got your LatLngBounds object by reading map.getBounds() then you already know what the pixel values should be, (the corners of your map container DIV).
