Google maps geocode API V3 does not return result in javascript function

I am trying to use the Google V3 geocoding API to build a location on a map based on the address provided by the user, the code is below.

When I make a request directly (e.g. http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=peterborough&sensor=false ), I get the expected response. However, when I make the same request using the code below, the midpoint variable is always undefined after the getLatLong function exits.

What am I doing wrong?

function loadFromSearch(address) 
{
  midpoint = getLatLong(address);
  mapCentre = midpoint;
  map.setMapTypeId(google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP);
  ...
}


function getLatLong(address) 
{
  var result;
  var url = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=' + encodeURIComponent(address) + '&sensor=false'
  $.getJSON(url,
  function (data){
     if (data.status == "OK")
     {
        result = data.results[0].geometry.location;
     }
  });
  return result;
}

{
  mapCentre = centre;
  map.setMapTypeId(google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP);

V3 API, ?

function findAddressViaGoogle() {
    var address = $("input[name='property_address']").val();
    var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
    geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address, 'region': 'uk' }, function(results, status) {
        if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
            newPointClicked(results[0].geometry.location)
        } else {
            alert("Unable to find address: " + status);
        }
    });
}

EDIT:

function loadFromSearch(address) 
{
midpoint = getLatLong(address);
mapCentre = midpoint;
map.setMapTypeId(google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP);
...
}


function getLatLong(address) 
{
    var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
    var result = "";
    geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address, 'region': 'uk' }, function(results, status) {
        if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
            result = results[0].geometry.location;
        } else {
            result = "Unable to find address: " + status;
        }
    });
    return result;
}

, $.getJSON , <result.

- ( !)

function loadFromSearch(address) 
{
  midpoint = getLatLong(address, function(midpoint){
    // this is a callback
    mapCentre = midpoint;
    map.setMapTypeId(google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP);
    ...           
    });
}

function getLatLong(address, callback) 
{
var result;
var url = 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=' + encodeURIComponent(address) + '&sensor=false'
$.getJSON(url,
  function (data) {
    if (data.status == "OK") {
        result = data.results[0].geometry.location;
        callback(result) // need a callback to get the asynchronous request to do something useful 
    }
  });
}
