[Google Maps API v2] Using the exact address as a parameter in setCenter() function in Google Maps API v2.0

I read this article here which says that I can use the exact address as a string for the setCenter() function. So here I have my code -


var search_location = "City+Hall,New+York,NY";
//var searchLocation_LatLng = new GLatLng(37.7916,-122.4418);

function load()
{
        map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
        GEvent.addListener(map, "load", function() {updateMap();});   
        map.setCenter(search_location, 13);
        .....................
        ...................
}.
 

The above code does not work if using the 'search_location' variable. It gives the error - a.lng is not a function in main.js file! But the code works if I use the 'searchLocation_LatLng' variable.

Can you please help. I need to be able to use the address directly if possible in setCenter() function.
