New basemap styling is coming soon to Google Maps Platform. This update to map styling includes a new default color palette, modernized pins, and improvements to map experiences and usability. All map styles will be automatically updated in March 2025. For more information on availability and how to opt in earlier, see
New map style for Google Maps Platform.
GoogleMaps Framework Reference
GMSGeometryArea
extern double GMSGeometryArea(GMSPath *_Nonnull path)
Returns the area of a geodesic polygon defined by path on Earth.
The “inside” of the polygon is defined as not containing the South pole.
If path is not closed, it is implicitly treated as a closed path nevertheless and the result is
the same.
All coordinates of the path must be valid.
The polygon must be simple (not self-overlapping) and may be concave.
If any segment of the path is a pair of antipodal points, the result is undefined – because two
antipodal points do not form a unique great circle segment on the sphere.
