Google Map

Lat/Lon Bounds

We've seen how Google maps lets you animate panning and zooming to a location. You can also do this to a region defined by two points.

LatLngBounds is an immutable type that you can use to expand a region as points are added to it. Think about a real-estate application that has a list of houses for sale, and you'd like to show all of the houses on the map. You would start with a single point

var bounds = LatLngBounds(point1, point1)

and then expand it by including other points:

bounds = bounds.including(nextPoint)

Note that including returns a a new instance of LatLngBounds; it does not update the existing instance.

We can LatLngBounds to include the car and current location if both are defined. Here we've expanded the auto-location logic that was based on the currentLocation to check if a car location had been saved. If so, we animate to a LatLngBounds; if not, we animate to just the current location with a zoom level.

When moving the camera position to a LatLngBounds, you must pass in a pixel value for how much space to leave around the edges of the map. Pixel values aren't consistent across devices, as many devices have different screen densities. We'd like to use density-independent pixels, but that means we need to convert dp to px.

Using LocalDensity, we can ask for the current screen density and use it access the toPx() function. Now we can have a consistent 48.dp map margin on all devices.
