Geometry Library Google Maps API V3

Node JS/ Javascript 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.

Installation

Issue following command:

yarn add node-geometry-library
npm i node-geometry-library

Usage

Here is an example of using GeometryLibrary:

import {SphericalUtil, PolyUtil} from "node-geometry-library";

);
console.log(response) // -180
