Projects coordinate to the map. coordinate must be valid.

Unprojects point from the map. point.x must be in [-1, 1].

Returns a linearly interpolated point on the segment [a, b], at the fraction t from a . t ==0 corresponds to a , t ==1 corresponds to b .

The interpolation takes place along the short path between the points potentially crossing the date line. E.g. interpolating from San Francisco to Tokyo will pass north of Hawaii and cross the date line.

Returns the length of the segment [a, b] in projected space.

The length is computed along the short path between the points potentially crossing the date line. E.g. the distance between the points corresponding to San Francisco and Tokyo measures the segment that passes north of Hawaii crossing the date line.

Returns whether point lies inside of path. The path is always considered closed, regardless of whether the last point equals the first or not.

Inside is defined as not containing the South Pole – the South Pole is always outside.

path describes great circle segments if geodesic is YES, and rhumb (loxodromic) segments otherwise.

If point is exactly equal to one of the vertices, the result is YES. A point that is not equal to a vertex is on one side or the other of any path segment – it can never be “exactly on the border”.

See GMSGeometryIsLocationOnPath() for a border test with tolerance.

Returns whether point lies on or near path , within the specified tolerance in meters. path is composed of great circle segments if geodesic is YES, and of rhumb (loxodromic) segments if geodesic is NO.

See also GMSGeometryIsLocationOnPath(point, path, geodesic) .

The tolerance, in meters, is relative to the spherical radius of the Earth. If you need to work on a sphere of different radius, you may compute the equivalent tolerance from the desired tolerance on the sphere of radius R: tolerance = toleranceR * (RadiusEarth / R), with RadiusEarth==6371009.

Same as GMSGeometryIsLocationOnPath(point, path, geodesic, tolerance) , with a default tolerance of 0.1 meters.

Returns the great circle distance between two coordinates, in meters, on Earth.

This is the shortest distance between the two coordinates on the sphere.

Both coordinates must be valid.

Returns the great circle length of path , in meters, on Earth.

This is the sum of GMSGeometryDistance() over the path segments.

All the coordinates of the path must be valid.

Returns the area of a geodesic polygon defined by path on Earth.

The “inside” of the polygon is defined as not containing the South pole.

If path is not closed, it is implicitly treated as a closed path nevertheless and the result is the same.

All coordinates of the path must be valid.

The polygon must be simple (not self-overlapping) and may be concave.

If any segment of the path is a pair of antipodal points, the result is undefined – because two antipodal points do not form a unique great circle segment on the sphere.

Returns the signed area of a geodesic polygon defined by path on Earth.

The result has the same absolute value as GMSGeometryArea() ; it is positive if the points of path are in counter-clockwise order, and negative otherwise.

The same restrictions as on GMSGeometryArea() apply.

Returns the initial heading (degrees clockwise of North) at from of the shortest path to to .

The returned value is in the range [0, 360).

Returns 0 if the two coordinates are the same.

Both coordinates must be valid.

To get the final heading at to one may use (GMSGeometryHeading( to , from ) + 180) modulo 360.

Returns the destination coordinate, when starting at from with initial heading , travelling distance meters along a great circle arc, on Earth.

The resulting longitude is in the range [-180, 180).

Both coordinates must be valid.

Returns the coordinate that lies the given fraction of the way between the from and to coordinates on the shortest path between the two.

The resulting longitude is in the range [-180, 180).

Returns an NSArray of GMSStyleSpan constructed by repeated application of style and length information from styles and lengths along path .

path the path along which the output spans are computed. styles an NSArray of GMSStrokeStyle. Wraps if consumed. Can’t be empty. lengths an NSArray of NSNumber; each entry gives the length of the corresponding style from styles . Wraps if consumed. Can’t be empty. lengthKind the interpretation of values from lengths (geodesic, rhumb or projected).

Example: a polyline with alternating black and white spans:

  GMSMutablePath 
 
*path; NSArray 
*styles = @[[  GMSStrokeStyle 
 
solidColor:[UIColor whiteColor]],
                     [  GMSStrokeStyle 
 
solidColor:[UIColor blackColor]]]; NSArray 
*lengths = @[@100000, @50000];
 polyline.path = path;
 polyline.spans = GMSStyleSpans 
(path, styles, lengths, kGMSLengthRhumb);

Similar to GMSStyleSpans(path, styles, lengths, lengthKind) but additionally takes an initial length offset that will be skipped over relative to the lengths array.

lengthOffset the length (e.g. in meters) that should be skipped initially from lengths .

Calculates a hash value for the given string.

Returns a GMSOrientation with the given heading and pitch .
