GMSGeocoder
@interface GMSGeocoder : NSObject
Exposes a service for reverse geocoding. This maps Earth coordinates (latitude and longitude) to
a collection of addresses near that coordinate.
-
Declaration
Objective-C
+ (GMSGeocoder *)geocoder;
-
Reverse geocodes a coordinate on the Earth’s surface.
Declaration
Objective-C
- (void)reverseGeocodeCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate
completionHandler:(nonnull GMSReverseGeocodeCallback)handler;
Parameters
coordinate
|
The coordinate to reverse geocode.
|
handler
|
The callback to invoke with the reverse geocode results.
The callback will be invoked asynchronously from the main thread.
