To access the address result with "types" "country" requires that you
step through the array of address components. Why? You cannot tell
in advance which address components are available. (Though "country"
is almost always available, you still don't know where it will be in
the array.)
This is not difficult:
for (var componentsIndex in results[0].address_components) {
if (results[0].address_components[componentsIndex].types[0] ==
'country' ) {
alert('Country name: ' +
results[0].address_components[componentsIndex].long_name);
}
}
[not tested, but believed to have been typed correctly]
