I have tried lots but could not figure out the problem. I want to draw a polygon around specific lat,lng. The polygon will consists of 13 coordinates in specific radius.

1. Person inter the address and radius in text box.
2. Geo code get lat,lng of that address
3. Center the map to there.
4. Draw the polygon around that center point with radius
5. The polygon should consists of 13 coordinates

Code

function showAddress(address, miles) {
            var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
            geocoder.geocode({
                address : address
            }, function(results, status) {
                if(status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                    //searchLocationsNear(results[0].geometry.location);
                    var cordinate = results[0].geometry.location;
                    //alert(cordinate);
                    var mapOptions = {
                        center : cordinate,
                        zoom : 8,

• See the drawCircle function on this map, change the number of points to 13 (from 32). It works for me (with 32 vertices). – geocodezip Commented Oct 30, 2013 at 20:22

Replace i<13;i++ by

i<360;i+=360/13

this will work

thank

edit: the last point isn't needed since gmap will close it automagically

I believe that cLng should be changed to:

var cLng = cLat * Math.cos(latitude * d2r);

(to get a perfect circle, that is)
