AI-generated Key Takeaways

• This documentation outlines globally available functions for utilizing Google Places in iOS development.

• GMSPlaceRectangularLocationOption allows filtering or biasing place results within a rectangular boundary defined by northeast and southwest coordinates.

• GMSPlaceCircularLocationOption enables biasing place results towards a circular area specified by a center coordinate and radius.

• GMSPlacePropertyArray provides access to an array of all available place properties for detailed information retrieval.

Functions

The following functions are available globally.

Protocols

• GMSPlaceRectangularLocationOption

  Returns a rectangular location to filter place results inside the boundaries. Supports filtering as a restriction where results must be inside the bounds, or as a bias where results in the bounds are preferred.

  Declaration

  Swift

  func GMSPlaceRectangularLocationOption(_ northEastBounds: CLLocationCoordinate2D, _ southWestBounds: CLLocationCoordinate2D) -> any GMSPlaceLocationBias & GMSPlaceLocationRestriction

  Objective-C

  extern id<GMSPlaceLocationBias, GMSPlaceLocationRestriction> _Nonnull GMSPlaceRectangularLocationOption(
      CLLocationCoordinate2D northEastBounds,
      CLLocationCoordinate2D southWestBounds)

  Parameters

  northEastBounds	The north east corner of the bounds.
  southWestBounds	The south west corner of the bounds.

• GMSPlaceCircularLocationOption

  Returns a circular location to bias place results. Supports filtering as a bias where results inside the circle are preferred.

  Declaration

  Swift

  func GMSPlaceCircularLocationOption(_ center: CLLocationCoordinate2D, _ radius: CLLocationDistance) -> any GMSPlaceLocationBias & GMSPlaceLocationRestriction

  Objective-C

  extern id<
      GMSPlaceLocationBias,
      GMSPlaceLocationRestriction> _Nonnull GMSPlaceCircularLocationOption(CLLocationCoordinate2D
                                                                               center,
                                                                           CLLocationDistance
                                                                               radius)

  Parameters

  center	The center of the circle.
  radius	The radius of the circle.

• GMSPlacePropertyArray

  Returns an array of all available GMSPlaceProperty.

  Declaration

  Swift

  func GMSPlacePropertyArray() -> [String]

  Objective-C

  extern NSArray<NSString *> *_Nonnull GMSPlacePropertyArray(void)
