NAME

Algorithm::GooglePolylineEncoding - Encode and Decode lat/lon polygons using Google Maps string encoding.

SYNOPSIS

use Algorithm::GooglePolylineEncoding;
my $encoded = encode-polyline( { :lat(90), :lon(90) }, { :lat(0), :lon(0) }, { :lat(22.5678), :lon(45.2394) } );
my @polyline = deocde-polyline( $encoded );

DESCRIPTION

Algorithm::GooglePolylineEncoding is intended to be used to encoded and decode Google Map polylines.

Note this is a lossy encoded, any decimal values beyond the 5th place in a latitude of longitude will be lost.

USAGE

encode-polyline( { :lat(Real), :lon(Real) }, ... ) --> Str

encode-polyline( [ { :lat(Real), :lon(Real) }, ... ] ) --> Str

encode-polyline( Real, Real, ... ) --> Str

Encodes a polyline list (supplied in any of the listed formats) and returns a Str of the encoded data.

decode-polyline( Str ) --> [ { :lat(Real), :lon(Real) }, ... ]

Takes a string encoded using the algorithm and returns an Array of Hashes with lat / lon keys.
