AI-generated Key Takeaways

• GMSGeocoder provides reverse geocoding functionality, converting coordinates into addresses.

• It offers a shared instance through the geocoder method.

• The reverseGeocodeCoordinate method handles the process of converting coordinates to addresses asynchronously.

• Results are delivered via a completion handler in Objective-C or as an asynchronous return value in Swift.

GMSGeocoder

@interface GMSGeocoder : NSObject

Exposes a service for reverse geocoding. This maps Earth coordinates (latitude and longitude) to a collection of addresses near that coordinate.

• +geocoder

  Declaration

  Objective-C

  + (GMSGeocoder *)geocoder;

• -reverseGeocodeCoordinate:completionHandler:

  Reverse geocodes a coordinate on the Earth’s surface.

  Declaration

  Swift

  func reverseGeocodeCoordinate(_ coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D) async throws -> GMSReverseGeocodeResponse

  Objective-C

  - (void)reverseGeocodeCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate
                 completionHandler:(nonnull GMSReverseGeocodeCallback)handler;

  Parameters

  coordinate	The coordinate to reverse geocode.
  handler	The callback to invoke with the reverse geocode results. The callback will be invoked asynchronously from the main thread.
