Method: Geos::GoogleMaps::PolylineEncoder.encode

Defined in:
lib/geos/google_maps/polyline_encoder.rb

.encode(points, level = 3) ⇒ Object

Encodes a series of points into Google’s encoded polyline format. See code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html for details, specifically GPolyline#fromEncoded and GPolygon#fromEncoded.

The level parameter is the zoom level you’re encoding at. See the Google Maps API reference for details on that.
