GMSGroundOverlay

@interface GMSGroundOverlay : GMSOverlay

GMSGroundOverlay specifies the available options for a ground overlay that exists on the Earth’s surface. Unlike a marker, the position of a ground overlay is specified explicitly and it does not face the camera.

  • The position of this GMSGroundOverlay, or more specifically, the physical position of its anchor. If this is changed, bounds will be moved around the new position.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var position: CLLocationCoordinate2D { get set }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) CLLocationCoordinate2D position;

  • The anchor specifies where this GMSGroundOverlay is anchored to the Earth in relation to bounds. If this is modified, position will be set to the corresponding new position within bounds.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var anchor: CGPoint { get set }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) CGPoint anchor;

  • Icon to render within bounds on the Earth. If this is nil, the overlay will not be visible (unlike GMSMarker which has a default image).

    Declaration

    Swift

    var icon: UIImage? { get set }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, nullable) UIImage *icon;

  • Sets the opacity of the ground overlay, between 0 (completely transparent) and 1 (default) inclusive.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var opacity: Float { get set }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) float opacity;

  • Bearing of this ground overlay, in degrees. The default value, zero, points this ground overlay up/down along the normal Y axis of the earth.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var bearing: CLLocationDirection { get set }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic) CLLocationDirection bearing;

  • The 2D bounds on the Earth in which icon is drawn. Changing this value will adjust position accordingly.

    Declaration

    Swift

    var bounds: GMSCoordinateBounds? { get set }

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, nullable) GMSCoordinateBounds *bounds;

  • Convenience constructor for GMSGroundOverlay for a particular bounds and icon. Will set position accordingly.

    Declaration

    Swift

    convenience init(bounds: GMSCoordinateBounds?, icon: UIImage?)

    Objective-C

    + (nonnull instancetype)groundOverlayWithBounds:
                            (nullable GMSCoordinateBounds *)bounds
                                           icon:(nullable UIImage *)icon;

  • Constructs a GMSGroundOverlay that renders the given icon at position, as if the image’s actual size matches camera pixels at zoomLevel.

    Declaration

    Swift

    convenience init(position: CLLocationCoordinate2D, icon: UIImage?, zoomLevel: CGFloat)

    Objective-C

    + (nonnull instancetype)groundOverlayWithPosition:
                            (CLLocationCoordinate2D)position
                                             icon:(nullable UIImage *)icon
                                        zoomLevel:(CGFloat)zoomLevel;
