Google Maps Geocoding Coordinates Changing

I search through the forums and google but didn't find anything on this, but I was wondering if anyone was having or has had issues with google maps changing their lat/long coordinates, even when a frozen version is declared?

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.2&amp;sensor=false"></script>

In the geocoding portion:

Code:

geocoder.geocode({'address': query}, function(results, status) {
	if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
		var coordinates = results[0].geometry.location;
		point.latitude = coordinates['oa'];
		point.longitude = coordinates['pa'];
		return callback();
	} else {
		var error = new Object();
		error.message = 'We were unable to locate your latitude and longitude. Please check your address and try again.<br />';
		error.callback = function(){};
		return point.errorHandler(error);
	}
});

The coordinates variable keeps changing the key. Originally it was:

Code:

point.latitude = coordinates['xa'];
point.longitude = coordinates['ya'];

Then: (and several others)

Code:

point.latitude = coordinates['sa'];
point.longitude = coordinates['ta'];

Now:

Code:

point.latitude = coordinates['oa'];
point.longitude = coordinates['pa'];

Why if a frozen version is declared, is this still changing?

Problem solved...

You have to use the google functions instead of access their variables directly.

Code:

point.latitude = coordinates.lat();
point.longitude = coordinates.lng();
