AutomaticViewportMode constants

google.maps.journeySharing.AutomaticViewportMode constants

Automatic viewport mode.

Access by calling const {AutomaticViewportMode} = await google.maps.importLibrary("journeySharing").
See Libraries in the Maps JavaScript API.

Constants

FIT_ANTICIPATED_ROUTE Automatically adjust the viewport to fit markers and any visible anticipated route polylines. This is the default.
NONE Do not automatically adjust the viewport.

LocationProvider abstract class

google.maps.journeySharing.LocationProvider abstract class

Parent class of all location providers.

Methods

addListener

addListener(eventName, handler)

Parameters:

  • eventNamestring The name of the event to listen for.
  • handlerFunction The event handler.

Return Value:  MapsEventListener

Adds a MapsEventListener for an event fired by this location provider. Returns an identifier for this listener that can be used with event.removeListener.

PollingLocationProvider abstract class

google.maps.journeySharing.PollingLocationProvider abstract class

Parent class of polling location providers.

This abstract class extends LocationProvider.

Properties

isPolling

Type:  boolean

True if this location provider is polling. Read only.

pollingIntervalMillis

Type:  number

Minimum time between fetching location updates in milliseconds. If it takes longer than pollingIntervalMillis to fetch a location update, the next location update is not started until the current one finishes.

Setting this value to 0, Infinity, or a negative value disables automatic location updates. A new location update is fetched once if the tracking ID parameter (for example, the shipment tracking ID of the shipment location provider), or a filtering option (for example, viewport bounds or attribute filters for fleet location providers) changes.

The default, and minimum, polling interval is 5000 milliseconds. If you set the polling interval to a lower positive value, 5000 is stored and used.

Methods

Inherited: addListener

Events

ispollingchange

function(event)

Event that is triggered when the polling state of the location provider is updated. Use PollingLocationProvider.isPolling to determine the current polling state.

PollingLocationProviderIsPollingChangeEvent interface

google.maps.journeySharing.PollingLocationProviderIsPollingChangeEvent interface

The event object passed to the event handler when the PollingLocationProvider.ispollingchange event is triggered.

Properties

error optional

Type:  Error optional

The error that caused the polling state to change, if the state change was caused by an error. Undefined if the state change was due to normal operations.
