I am working on an application where i want path between two locations.
I implemented some code. This is fine for short distance path but when i creating path for long distance like From Jaipur, Rajasthan, India to Jorhat, Aasam, India, my application get crashed.
This is my code

What should i do. Please suggest.
You can try pathFromEncodedPath method in place of decodePolyLine for getting path from encodeString.
NSString *points=[[[latestRoutes objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"overview_polyline"] objectForKey:#"points"];
polyline = [GMSPolyline polylineWithPath: [GMSPath pathFromEncodedPath: points]];
polyline.map = mapView;
polyline.strokeColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0/255.0 green:4/255.0 blue:255/255.0 alpha:1.0];
polyline.strokeWidth = 4.0f;

I have create a PolyLine in MapView. I tried to many times but did not draw. Ones a draw polyLine but that case run only simulator, I run in device and crash my app. and I already post my question here
I tried to many times and using lots of tutorials, please suggest any other tutorial.
I want to create a PolyLine in MapView using google direction URL. Starting point is my device location and end point is any lat long. so both points in centre draw a polyLine. That means create a root map starting point to end point draw a PolyLine.
Please help, Thank you
you can use google api for this
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin
in this api you have to pass lat log of your locations like this methode
-(NSArray*) calculateRoutes
{
NSString *baseUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=%f,%f&destination=%f,%f&sensor=true",currentlatitude,currentlongitude,destination lat,destination log];
NSData *data=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:baseUrl]];
if (data) {
NSDictionary *direction_dictionary=[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments error:nil];
if (direction_dictionary) {
if ([[direction_dictionary valueForKey:#"status"] isEqualToString:#"OK"]) {
NSArray *routes_array=[direction_dictionary valueForKey:#"routes"];
if (routes_array) {
NSString *poinstEncoded_String=[[[routes_array firstObject] valueForKey:#"overview_polyline"] valueForKey:#"points"];
routes = [self decodePolyLine:[poinstEncoded_String mutableCopy]];
NSInteger numberOfSteps = routes.count;
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinates[numberOfSteps];
for (NSInteger index = 0; index < numberOfSteps; index++)
{
CLLocation *location = [routes objectAtIndex:index];
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = location.coordinate;
coordinates[index] = coordinate;
}
MKPolyline *polyLine = [MKPolyline polylineWithCoordinates:coordinates count:numberOfSteps];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self.MapVw addOverlay:polyLine];
// add polyline here to your mapview
});
}
}
}
}
}
-(NSMutableArray *)decodePolyLine: (NSMutableString *)encoded
{
[encoded replaceOccurrencesOfString:#"\\\\" withString:#"\\" options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [encoded length])];
NSInteger len = [encoded length];
NSInteger index = 0;
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSInteger lat=0;
NSInteger lng=0;
while (index < len)
{
NSInteger b;
NSInteger shift = 0;
NSInteger result = 0;
do
{
b = [encoded characterAtIndex:index++] - 63;
result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
shift += 5;
} while (b >= 0x20);
NSInteger dlat = ((result & 1) ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
lat += dlat;
shift = 0;
result = 0;
do
{
b = [encoded characterAtIndex:index++] - 63;
result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
shift += 5;
} while (b >= 0x20);

}
return array;
}
After getting response (Full example http://way2ios.com/development/ios-development-2/iphone-2/draw-polygon-mkmapview-stylus/):
– (MKOverlayView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForOverlay:(id )overlay
{
MKPolygonView *polygonView = [[MKPolygonView alloc] initWithPolygon:overlay];
polygonView.lineWidth = 5;

I'm trying to draw route on my map using Google Maps SDK.
This is the URL that i'm calling and I parse the JSON response to array of coordinates:
id jsonResponse = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseObject options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];
int points_count = 0;
points_count = [[[[[[jsonResponse objectForKey:#"routes"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"legs"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"steps"] count];
NSArray *steps = nil;
if (points_count && [[[[jsonResponse objectForKey:#"routes"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"legs"] count])
{
steps = [[[[[jsonResponse objectForKey:#"routes"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"legs"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"steps"];
}
NSMutableArray *coordinates = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:points_count];
for (int i = 0; i < points_count; i++)
{
NSDictionary *start;
NSDictionary *finish;
double st_lat = [[[[steps objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"start_location"] valueForKey:#"lat"] doubleValue];
double st_lon = [[[[steps objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"start_location"] valueForKey:#"lng"] doubleValue];
if (st_lat > 0.0f && st_lon > 0.0f)
{
start = #{ #"latitude" : [NSNumber numberWithDouble:st_lat], #"longitude" : [NSNumber numberWithDouble:st_lon] };
}
double end_lat = [[[[steps objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"end_location"] valueForKey:#"lat"] doubleValue];
double end_lon = [[[[steps objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"end_location"] valueForKey:#"lng"] doubleValue];
if (end_lat > 0.0f && end_lon > 0.0f)
{
finish = #{ #"latitude" : [NSNumber numberWithDouble:end_lat], #"longitude" : [NSNumber numberWithDouble:end_lon] };
}
[coordinates addObject:#{ #"start" : start, #"finish" : finish }];
}
And than drawing on the map view with this method:
GMSMutablePath *path = [GMSMutablePath path];
for (NSDictionary *d in directions)
{
NSDictionary *start = d[#"start"];
NSDictionary *finish = d[#"finish"];
CLLocationCoordinate2D c_start = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([start[#"latitude"] doubleValue], [start[#"longitude"] doubleValue]);
CLLocationCoordinate2D c_finish = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([finish[#"latitude"] doubleValue], [finish[#"longitude"] doubleValue]);
[path addCoordinate:c_start];
[path addCoordinate:c_finish];
}
GMSPolyline *line = [GMSPolyline polylineWithPath:path];
line.strokeColor = [UIColor redColor];
line.strokeWidth = 2.0f;
line.map = self.mapView;
Why it is drawing like that and not going into the street it self?
What am I doing wrong here?
Try this it draws exact path like in driving mode - StreetMode, Here's my code :
iOS GSMPolyLine
So the problem was that I used the start_location and end_location instead of the polyline -> points. Fixed my code into this:
Request URL for example: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=40.716072,-74.008836&destination=40.697545,-73.983892&sensor=false&waypoints=optimize:true&mode=driving
id jsonResponse = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseObject options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];
int points_count = 0;
points_count = [[[[[[jsonResponse objectForKey:#"routes"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"legs"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"steps"] count];
NSArray *steps = nil;
if (points_count && [[[[jsonResponse objectForKey:#"routes"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"legs"] count])
{
steps = [[[[[jsonResponse objectForKey:#"routes"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"legs"] objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:#"steps"];
}
NSMutableArray *coordinates = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:points_count];
for (int i = 0; i < points_count; i++)
{
NSString *toDecode = [[[steps objectAtIndex:i] objectForKey:#"polyline"] valueForKey:#"points"];
NSArray *locations = [AppUtils decodePolylineWithString:toDecode];
for (int i = 0 ; i < locations.count ; i++)
{
if (i != locations.count - 1) {
CLLocation *start = [locations objectAtIndex:i];
CLLocation *finish = [locations objectAtIndex:i + 1];
[coordinates addObject:#{ #"start" : start, #"finish" : finish }];
}
}
}
GMSMutablePath *path = [GMSMutablePath path];
for (NSDictionary *d in directions)
{
CLLocation *start = d[#"start"];
CLLocation *finish = d[#"finish"];
[path addCoordinate:start.coordinate];
[path addCoordinate:finish.coordinate];
}
GMSPolyline *line = [GMSPolyline polylineWithPath:path];
line.strokeColor = [UIColor redColor];
line.strokeWidth = 2.0f;
line.map = self.mapView;
+ (NSArray*)decodePolylineWithString:(NSString *)encodedString
{
NSMutableArray *coordinates = [NSMutableArray array];
const char *bytes = [encodedString UTF8String];
NSUInteger length = [encodedString lengthOfBytesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSUInteger idx = 0;
NSUInteger count = length / 4;
CLLocationCoordinate2D *coords = calloc(count, sizeof(CLLocationCoordinate2D));
NSUInteger coordIdx = 0;
float latitude = 0;
float longitude = 0;
while (idx < length) {
char byte = 0;
int res = 0;
char shift = 0;
do {
byte = bytes[idx++] - 63;
res |= (byte & 0x1F) << shift;
shift += 5;
} while (byte >= 0x20);
float deltaLat = ((res & 1) ? ~(res >> 1) : (res >> 1));
latitude += deltaLat;
shift = 0;
res = 0;
do {
byte = bytes[idx++] - 0x3F;
res |= (byte & 0x1F) << shift;
shift += 5;
} while (byte >= 0x20);
float deltaLon = ((res & 1) ? ~(res >> 1) : (res >> 1));
longitude += deltaLon;
float finalLat = latitude * 1E-5;
float finalLon = longitude * 1E-5;
CLLocationCoordinate2D coord = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(finalLat, finalLon);
coords[coordIdx++] = coord;
CLLocation *location = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:finalLat longitude:finalLon];
[coordinates addObject:location];
if (coordIdx == count) {
NSUInteger newCount = count + 10;
coords = realloc(coords, newCount * sizeof(CLLocationCoordinate2D));
count = newCount;
}
}
free(coords);
return coordinates;
}
I know it's a little bit dirty, but that's work and it works great.
Enjoy.
I'm developing an iOS app which is using Google Directions API to draw routes on maps which are provided by Google Maps SDK. It works well on small distance although when I zoom the map camera very close I see that the route polylines are often getting out of the streets. When the distance is longer it's a real disaster and it's not following the streets curves if I zoom in. I'm getting the points from the overview-polyline which I receive from the Directions API but it seems like the polyline is not that poly as I want. On Android it works perfectly. Could it be that Google sends different directions to iOS than Android? Has some of you had the same problem as me?

I had to process every step's polyline, not just the overview-polyline. Now it works perfectly.
Here's the code I'm using now:

CLLocation *location = [polyLinesArray objectAtIndex:index];
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = location.coordinate;
[path addLatitude:coordinate.latitude longitude:coordinate.longitude];
if (index==0) {
[self.coordinates addObject:location];
}
}
}
self.overviewPolilyne = [GMSPolyline polylineWithPath:path];
What I basically did before was that I was getting and working only with the information I'm receiving in the routes while if you check the JSON file you're receiving from Google Directions API, you'll see that you receive much more information in the <legs> and the <steps>. This is the information we need to produce the proper results and the right polyline.
Good luck! :)
I am creating a Navigation iPhone app that creates a polyline between the user location and the destination the user wants to go.
I am able to create the polyline. But what i need to do is as the user proceeds on the polyline, the polyline need to gradually decrease showing the user is on track. And i also need to detect if the user has strayed from the path.
For example, if the user has to go left but he doesn't, how will i detect that?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I think you have to draw the polyline from the user's location to the destination, on location change of the device remove the existing polyline and draw a new one with the user's current location. You could share some code that you have tried already so that I can help you in a better way.
I'm using mapKit to draw a route from point to point. I did it.
But i want to get route length NOT the distance as straight line.
nextView.startPoint = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f,%f", userLatitude , userLongitude];
nextView.endPoint = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f,%f", 30.793636, 31.009641];
[diretions loadWithStartPoint:startPoint endPoint:endPoint options:options];
Aloso i want to give it a mid point to path through.
To do that you are going to have to use a directions API, preferably Google Directions API. You should look at that link and read it through, Apple does not have a built in direction API. You can send it a request and ask for JSON response, I would use AFNetworking to make like easier (on Github) and JSONKit also on Github for that. Then send a request and parse the JSON response. In the response you need the encoded points, which is a set of many coordinates that basically traces the route. You would then need to display that on an overlay. Here is some sample code, but before you copy and paste this in make sure you read the GDirections API Site, you will understand everything MUCH easier and can learn how to do more:
// DRAG IN AFNETWORKING FILES AND JSON KIT FILES TO YOUR PROJECT AND ALSO IMPORT THE MAP KIT AND CORE LOCATION FRAMEWORKS
// IMPORT FILES
#import "StringHelper.h"
#import "JSONKit.h"
#import "AFJSONRequestOperation.h"
#import "AFHTTPClient.h"
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
// DECLARE MUTABLE ARRAY IN .H:
NSMutableArray *_path;
// ADD THIS CODE TO WHEN YOU WANT TO REQUEST FOR DIRECTIONS
AFHTTPClient *_httpClient = [AFHTTPClient clientWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://maps.googleapis.com/"]];
[_httpClient registerHTTPOperationClass: [AFJSONRequestOperation class]];
[_httpClient setDefaultHeader:#"Accept" value:#"application/json"];
NSMutableDictionary *parameters = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[parameters setObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f,%f", location.coordinate.latitude, location.coordinate.longitude] forKey:#"origin"];
[parameters setObject:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f,%f", location2.coordinate.latitude, location2.coordinate.longitude] forKey:#"destination"];
[parameters setObject:#"false" forKey:#"sensor"];
[parameters setObject:#"driving" forKey:#"mode"];
[parameters setObject:#"metric" forKey: #"units"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [_httpClient requestWithMethod:#"GET" path: #"maps/api/directions/json" parameters:parameters];
request.cachePolicy = NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData;
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [_httpClient HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSInteger statusCode = operation.response.statusCode;
if (statusCode == 200) {
[self parseResponse:responseObject];
}
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) { }];
[_httpClient enqueueHTTPRequestOperation:operation];
// NOW ADD THE PARSERESPONSE METHOD
- (void)parseResponse:(NSDictionary *)response {
NSString *status = [response objectForKey: #"status"];
NSArray *routes = [response objectForKey:#"routes"];
NSDictionary *routePath = [routes lastObject];
if (routePath) {
NSString *overviewPolyline = [[routePath objectForKey: #"overview_polyline"] objectForKey:#"points"];
_path = [self decodePolyLine:overviewPolyline];
NSInteger numberOfSteps = _path.count;
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinates[numberOfSteps];
for (NSInteger index = 0; index < numberOfSteps; index++) {
CLLocation *location = [_path objectAtIndex:index];
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = location.coordinate;
coordinates[index] = coordinate;
}
polyLine = [MKPolyline polylineWithCoordinates:coordinates count:numberOfSteps];
[self.mapView addOverlay:polyLine];
}
}
// IMPLEMENTING THE DECODEPOLYLINE METHOD:
-(NSMutableArray *)decodePolyLine:(NSString *)encodedStr {
NSMutableString *encoded = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithCapacity:[encodedStr length]];
[encoded appendString:encodedStr];
[encoded replaceOccurrencesOfString:#"\\\\" withString:#"\\"
options:NSLiteralSearch
range:NSMakeRange(0, [encoded length])];
NSInteger len = [encoded length];
NSInteger index = 0;
NSMutableArray *array = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSInteger lat=0;
NSInteger lng=0;
while (index < len) {
NSInteger b;
NSInteger shift = 0;
NSInteger result = 0;
do {
b = [encoded characterAtIndex:index++] - 63;
result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
shift += 5;
} while (b >= 0x20);
NSInteger dlat = ((result & 1) ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
lat += dlat;
shift = 0;
result = 0;
do {
b = [encoded characterAtIndex:index++] - 63;
result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
shift += 5;
} while (b >= 0x20);
NSInteger dlng = ((result & 1) ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
lng += dlng;
NSNumber *latitude = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithFloat:lat * 1e-5];
NSNumber *longitude = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithFloat:lng * 1e-5];
CLLocation *location = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:[latitude floatValue] longitude:[longitude floatValue]];
[array addObject:location];
}
return array;
}
// IMPLEMENTING THE VIEWFOROVERLAY DELEGATE METHOD (MAKE SURE TO SET YOUR MAP VIEW'S DELEGATE TO SELF OR THIS WONT GET CALLED)
- (MKOverlayView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForOverlay:(id <MKOverlay>)overlay {
MKPolylineView *polylineView = [[MKPolylineView alloc] initWithPolyline:overlay];
polylineView.strokeColor = [UIColor blueColor];
polylineView.lineWidth = 5.0;
polylineView.alpha = 0.7;
return polylineView;
}
And that should get your directional routes up and running!
