Location animation used in Google Map

Question

I use Google Map in my ios app and I like to show the location animation used in the Google Map.That animation is normally used for displaying the current location and is auto-resizing, ie the marker size is animated like self growing in light blue colour. I like to display that animation for my latitude and longitude positon. How can I program it? I don't have enough reputation to upload image. Thanks

Answer 1

You should be able to just set myLocationEnabled , eg:

GMSMapView* mapView = ...;
mapView.myLocationEnabled = YES;

Answer 2

If you want the animation to your location use animateToLocation:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)location :

GMSMapView* mapView = ...;
mapView.myLocationEnabled = YES;
[mapView animateToLocation:mapView.myLocation];

or you can use animateToCameraPosition:(GMSCameraPosition *)cameraPosition to even adjust the zoom

GMSCameraPosition *cameraPosition = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithTarget:mapView.myLocation zoom:14.0f;
[mapView animateToCameraPosition:cameraPosition];
