Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null

I used google map javascript V3 API for this module. This code working fine untill we don't drag the map, but when i drag the map i'll get "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null "(from google chrome inspect element)

Code:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>

        </title>
        <style type="text/css">
            html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
            #map-canvas { height: 80%; width:80%; margin: auto; padding: 0;}
        </style>
        <script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=false"></script>
        <script>
            var map;
            var service;

            $(document).ready(function(){
                navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(initialize);
            });

            function initialize(location) {
                console.log(location);

                var currentlocation = new google.maps.LatLng(location.coords.latitude, location.coords.longitude);

                var mapOptions = {
                    center: currentlocation ,
                    zoom: 12,
                    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
                    disableDefaultUI: true,
                    draggable: true
                };
                map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),
                    mapOptions);

                var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                    position: currentlocation,

                service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);

                google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'bounds_changed', performSearch);

                var circleOptions = {
                    strokeColor: '#FF0000',

                };

                var circle = new google.maps.Circle(circleOptions);

            }

            function performSearch() {
                var request = {
                    bounds: map.getBounds(),
                    name: "McDonald's"
                };

                service.nearbySearch(request, handleSearchResult);
            }

            function handleSearchResult(results, status){
                console.log(results);
                for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
                    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                        position: results[i].geometry.location,
                        map: map,

                }
            }

Solution

You aren't checking the return status of the places search. If it encounters an error (or doesn't return any results), it will fail.

function handleSearchResult(results, status){
  if (status == google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
    for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
      var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
          position: results[i].geometry.location,
          map: map,
          icon: "images//restaurant-71.png"
       });
     }
  } else { alert("no results"); }
}

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

#map-canvas {
  height: 80%;
  width: 80%;
  margin: auto;
  padding: 0;
}
