GMSGeometryHeading

extern CLLocationDirection GMSGeometryHeading(CLLocationCoordinate2D from,
                                              CLLocationCoordinate2D to)

Returns the initial heading (degrees clockwise of North) at from of the shortest path to to.

The returned value is in the range [0, 360).

Returns 0 if the two coordinates are the same.

Both coordinates must be valid.

To get the final heading at to one may use (GMSGeometryHeading(to, from) + 180) modulo 360.
