      • computeHeading

         static double computeHeading(LatLng from, LatLng to)

        Returns the heading from one LatLng to another LatLng. Headings areexpressed in degrees clockwise from North within the range [-180,180).

      • computeOffset

         static LatLng computeOffset(LatLng from, double distance, double heading)

        Returns the LatLng resulting from moving a distance from an originin the specified heading (expressed in degrees clockwise from north).

        Parameters:
        from - The LatLng from which to start.
        distance - The distance to travel.
        heading - The heading in degrees clockwise from north.

      • computeOffsetOrigin

         static LatLng computeOffsetOrigin(LatLng to, double distance, double heading)

        Returns the location of origin when provided with a LatLng destination,meters travelled and original heading. Headings are expressed in degreesclockwise from North. This function returns null when no solution isavailable.

        Parameters:
        to - The destination LatLng.
        distance - The distance travelled, in meters.
        heading - The heading in degrees clockwise from north.

      • interpolate

         static LatLng interpolate(LatLng from, LatLng to, double fraction)

        Returns the LatLng which lies the given fraction of the way between theorigin LatLng and the destination LatLng.

        Parameters:
        from - The LatLng from which to start.
        to - The LatLng toward which to travel.
        fraction - A fraction of the distance to travel.

      • computeDistanceBetween

         static double computeDistanceBetween(LatLng from, LatLng to)

        Returns the distance between two LatLngs, in meters.

      • computeLength

         static double computeLength(List<LatLng> path)

        Returns the length of the given path, in meters, on Earth.

      • computeArea

         static double computeArea(List<LatLng> path)

        Returns the area of a closed path on Earth.

        Parameters:
        path - A closed path.

      • computeSignedArea

         static double computeSignedArea(List<LatLng> path)

        Returns the signed area of a closed path on Earth. The sign of the area may be used todetermine the orientation of the path."inside" is the surface that does not contain the South Pole.

        Parameters:
        path - A closed path.
