###Public Methods

\Yii::$app->googleApi->renderMapIframe($address, $latlng, $iFrameWidth, $iFrameHeight)

\Yii::$app->googleApi->createImage($address, $latlng, $setMarker)

\Yii::$app->googleApi->getGeoCodeObject($address, $latlng)

\Yii::$app->googleApi->getDistance($start, $finish, $unit)

Usage

Once the component is installed, simply use it in your code by:

// Use $address OR $latlng
$address 	          = '70180 Stuttgart, Germany';
$latlng 	          = '48.7632145,9.174027';

Create a Google map image

$relFilePath          = \Yii::$app->googleApi->createImage($address, null, true);

To simply get the Google geocode object

$relFilePath          = \Yii::$app->googleApi->getGeoCodeObject(null, $latlng);

Render a Google map iframe

$iframeMarkup         = \Yii::$app->googleApi->renderMapIframe(null, $latlng);

Calculate Distance between two geo points

$latlng_origin	      = ['48.7632145','9.174027'];
$latlng_destination	  = ['48.4525334','9.468254'];
$unit		          = 'miles'; // 'miles' or 'km'

$floatDistance        = \Yii::$app->googleApi->getDistance($latlng_origin, $latlng_destination, $unit);
