I don't see anywhere in there that you set coordinates

>     var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
That centres the starting map at -34.397 W 150.644 N

>     geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status)

That calls the geocoder, which is a service that looks up postal
addresses and converts to lat/long.
If you are feeding that lat/longs its not really the appropriate tool
for the job.
Write some code to parse lat/longs input from a form if thats what you
want.  There'll be plenty of examples out there.  That allows you to
add, for example, meaningful error messages for latitudes bigger than
100 etc.

26.527 E -78.606 S is in Antartica
-78.606 W 26.527 N is in Bahamas
