This class also has other useful methods which work with multiple rectangles. Another method of the LatLngBounds class is contains(), which tests if a LatLng coordinate is within the bounds or not. The only method that you’ll see in the demo is extend(), which accepts a LatLng point, and widens the current rectangle’s bounds to include it. The first will be used as the south-west point of the rectangle, while the second acts as the north-east point. Its constructor accepts up to two parameters that, if given, must be LatLng instances. Citing the official documentation, a LatLngBounds represents a rectangle in geographical coordinates, including one that crosses the 180 degrees longitudinal meridian. The demo also takes advantage of the class. I suggest reading the PolylineOptions official documentation to learn about other useful properties. strokeWeight is a number that sets the stroke width in pixels. strokeOpacity is a number between 0.0 and 1.0 that sets the stroke opacity. As the name implies, strokeColor sets the stroke color, and defaults to #000000 (black). The stroke properties are also noteworthy, as they will be used in the demo. The two most important are those underlying the setters described before – map and path.

The class is full of properties that you can use to tune the polyline to fit your needs. The methods of this class are just getters and setters, so I won’t go into too much detail, but keep in mind that the most important setters are setPath(), that defines the points to join, and setMap(), which sets the map where the line will be drawn. It draws a line that connects several points, using the options (a object) passed to the constructor.

In this section you’ll see another piece of the API that we’ll use in the final demo. In the last two articles you’ve seen a lot of classes, methods, and properties, however, they were just a small piece of the Google Maps API puzzle.
