# invalidatePath()

Updates the path associated with the overlay renderer.

```
func invalidatePath()
```

## Discussion

Call this method when a change in the path information would require you to recreate the overlay’s path. This method sets the [`path`](/documentation/MapKit/MKOverlayPathRenderer/path) property to `nil` and tells the overlay renderer to redisplay its contents.
