             }
          ],
          "status" : "OK"
       }
       ```
   
 * For the Geodata and the formated address it is works fine.
 *     ```
       $_lat = $_coordinates->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
       $_lng = $_coordinates->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;
       $_formAddress = $_coordinates->results[0]->formatted_address;
       ```
   
 * But how do I get the
 * > administrative_area_level_1
 * I tried
 * `$_theLand = $_coordinates->results[0]->address_components[0]->administrative_area_level_1;`
 * but nothing returns only NULL.
 * Any suggestion?
