Documentation

Geometry Library Google Maps API V3

PHP Geometry Library provides utility functions for the computation of geometric data on the surface of the Earth. Code ported from Google Maps Android API.

Features

  • Spherical contains spherical geometry utilities allowing you to compute angles, distances and areas from latitudes and longitudes.
  • Poly utility functions for computations involving polygons and polylines.
  • Encoding utilities for polyline encoding and decoding.

Dependency

Installation

Issue following command:

composer require brianfp/geometry-library:1.0.2

Alternatively edit composer.json by adding following line and run composer update

"require": { 
		....,
		"brianfp/geometry-library":"1.0.2",
	
	},
