Description
Encodes number in Polyline Algorithm Format.We take a number (latitude or longitude) and encode it as an ASCII text.
See
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/utilities/polylinealgorithm
Examples
Encode number:
MBS("Math.PolylineEncode"; 38.5)
Example result: _p~iF
Encode another value:
MBS("Math.PolylineEncode"; -120.2)
Example result: ~ps|U
Encode a polyline with 3 points:
// Points: (38.5, -120.2), (40.7, -120.95), (43.252, -126.453)
MBS("Math.PolylineEncode"; 38.5) & MBS("Math.PolylineEncode"; -120.20) &
MBS("Math.PolylineEncode"; 40.7 - 38.5) & MBS("Math.PolylineEncode"; -120.95 - -120.2) &
MBS("Math.PolylineEncode"; 43.252 - 40.7) & MBS("Math.PolylineEncode"; -126.453 - -120.95)
Example result: _p~iF~ps|U_ulLnnqC_mqNvxq`@
