NAME
Geo::Google::Segment - An annotated segment of a path
SYNOPSIS
use Geo::Google::Segment;
# you shouldn't need to construct these yourself,
# have a Geo::Google object do it for you.DESCRIPTION
Google Maps is able to serve up directions between two points. Directions consist of two types of components:
1. a series of points along a "polyline".
2. a series of annotations, each of which applies to a contiguous
range of points.In the Geo::Google object model, directions are available by calling path() on a Geo::Google instance. The return value is a Geo::Google::Path object, which is a composite of Geo::Google::Segment objects, which are in turn composites of Geo::Google::Location objects.
OBJECT METHODS
Geo::Google::Location objects provide the following accessor methods
Method Description
------ -----------
from a Geo::Google::Location at the beginning of the segment.
distance length of the segment, in variable, human friendly units.
id a unique identifier for this point.
meters length of the segment, in meters.
pointIndex the offset, in 0-based points, at which the segment begins
relative to the start of the path.
points a list of Geo::Google::Location points along the segment.
seconds a time estimate, in seconds, for how long the segment will
take to travel by automobile.
text a description of the segment, typically some human-readable
description of this leg of a path, e.g "make a u-turn at
McLaughlin Ave".
time a time estimate, in variable, human-friendly units for how long
the segment will take to travel by automobile.
to a Geo::Google::Location at the end of the segment.
toString a method that renders the segment in Google Maps XML format.SEE ALSO
