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
GMSStyleSpans
Returns an NSArray of GMSStyleSpan constructed by repeated application of style and length
information from styles and lengths along path.
path the path along which the output spans are computed.
styles an NSArray of GMSStrokeStyle. Wraps if consumed. Can’t be empty.
lengths an NSArray of NSNumber; each entry gives the length of the corresponding
style from styles. Wraps if consumed. Can’t be empty.
lengthKind the interpretation of values from lengths (geodesic, rhumb or projected).
Example: a polyline with alternating black and white spans:
GMSMutablePath *path;
NSArray *styles = @[[GMSStrokeStyle solidColor:[UIColor whiteColor]],
[GMSStrokeStyle solidColor:[UIColor blackColor]]];
NSArray *lengths = @[@100000, @50000];
polyline.path = path;
polyline.spans = GMSStyleSpans(path, styles, lengths, kGMSLengthRhumb);
