If false, edges are straight in the projection. If true, edges are curved to follow the shortest path on the surface of the Earth.
Usage | Returns | Geometry.geodesic() | Boolean |

Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Define a Geometry object.
var geometry = ee.Geometry({
'type': 'Polygon',
'coordinates':
[[[-122.081, 37.417],
[-122.086, 37.421],
[-122.084, 37.418],
[-122.089, 37.416]]]
});
// Apply the geodesic method to the Geometry object.
var geometryGeodesic = geometry.geodesic();
// Print the result to the console.
print('geometry.geodesic(...) =', geometryGeodesic);
// Display relevant geometries on the map.
Map.setCenter(-122.085, 37.422, 15);
Map.addLayer(geometry,
{'color': 'black'},
'Geometry [black]: geometry');
