Question

I am working on an app where i need to load hebrew map and also update map as location change and draw path from initial location to change location.

I have worked on apple map and google map. But i find some difficulty in loading israel country map on it. Is it possible to load such map on iOS? Any suggestions are most welcome!

To load hebrew map

Based from this SO question, Google Maps iOS SDK uses the system region/language settings but doesn't expose any way to manually force any particular language. Geocoding responses (using the SDK classes) and the map labels both reflect these device settings, thankfully.

Draw path from initial location to change location

You can use Polylines to draw lines on the map. A GMSPolyline object represents an ordered sequence of locations, displayed as a series of line segments. You can set the color of a polyline with GMSStrokeStyle.

To create a polyline, you'll need to specify its path by creating a corresponding GMSMutablePath object with two or more points. Each CLLocationCoordinate2D represents a point on the Earth's surface. Line segments are drawn between points according to the order in which you add them to the path. You can add points to the path with the addCoordinate: or addLatitude:longitude: methods.

Example:

GMSMutablePath *path = [GMSMutablePath path];
[path addCoordinate:CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(-33.85, 151.20)];
[path addCoordinate:CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(-33.70, 151.40)];
[path addCoordinate:CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(-33.73, 151.41)];
GMSPolyline *polyline = [GMSPolyline polylineWithPath:path];
