I am trying to fit a polyline in the google map view. The polyline was acquired through overview_polyline in the google maps directions api.
Wondering how I would be able to convert an encoded polyline into something that can be worked with. I need to fit the polyline in the map view. All i have found out to do is fit the bounds to show all markers but not showcase the entire polyline.
func fitAllMarkers()
{
var bounds = GMSCoordinateBounds()
for marker in markers
{
bounds = bounds.includingCoordinate(marker.position)
}
googleMapView.animateWithCameraUpdate(GMSCameraUpdate.fitBounds(bounds))
}
For Swift 2.0 Google Maps, to make your map view fit the polyline of the route you are drawing:
let path: GMSPath = GMSPath(fromEncodedPath: route)!
routePolyline = GMSPolyline(path: path)
routePolyline.map = mapView
var bounds = GMSCoordinateBounds()
for index in 1...path.count() {
bounds = bounds.includingCoordinate(path.coordinateAtIndex(index))
}
mapView.animateWithCameraUpdate(GMSCameraUpdate.fitBounds(bounds))
Though the question has an accepted answer,
Still one point which has not been discussed.
GMSPolyLine has a property ".path" which can used to bound the map with the complete polyline itself.
mapView.animate(with: GMSCameraUpdate.fit(GMSCoordinateBounds(path: self.polyLineObject.path!), withPadding: 10))
- mapView is an instance of GMSMapView()
- polyLineObject is an instance of GMSPolyLine()
With this approach, It'll do the job for sure.
Coz it has Done for me..
Hope it Helps..
**For Swift 3.0 Google Maps, to make your map view fit the polyline of the route you are drawing:**
func fitAllMarkers(_path: GMSPath) {
var bounds = GMSCoordinateBounds()
for index in 1..._path.count() {
bounds = bounds.includingCoordinate(_path.coordinate(at: index))
}
mapView.animate(with: GMSCameraUpdate.fit(bounds))
}
You can zoom the map according the route or line displayed in the mapview. So that your route is displayed with in the mapView bounds.
let bounds = GMSCoordinateBounds(path:path! )
self.mapView!.animate(with: GMSCameraUpdate.fit(bounds, withPadding: 50.0))
Here path is GMSPath of the route and mapView is GmsMapView.
