The
My Locationbutton is displayed in the bottom right corner of the map view. When the user taps the button, the map pans to the user's current location.
Get startedBefore you can try the sample code, you must configure your development environment. For more information, see Maps SDK for iOS code samples.

The Maps SDK for iOS sample app is available as a download archive from GitHub. Follow these steps to install and try the Maps SDK for iOS sample app.
git clone https://github.com/googlemaps-samples/maps-sdk-for-ios-samples.git
to clone the samples repository into a local directory.Open a terminal window, navigate to the directory where you cloned the sample files, and drill down into the GoogleMaps directory:
Swiftcd maps-sdk-for-ios-samples-main/GoogleMaps-SwiftObjective-Cpod install
open GoogleMapsSwiftDemos.xcworkspace
cd maps-sdk-for-ios-samples-main/GoogleMapspod install
open GoogleMapsDemos.xcworkspace
SDKConstants.swift
file for Swift orSDKDemoAPIKey.h
file for Objective-C.SDKConstants.swift
file for Swift orSDKDemoAPIKey.h
file for Objective-C and paste your API key into the definition of either the apiKey
or kAPIKey
constant. For example: Swift
static let apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"Objective-C
static NSString *const kAPIKey = @"YOUR_API_KEY";
SDKConstants.swift
file (Swift) orSDKDemoAPIKey.h
file (Objective-C), remove the following line, because it's used to register the user-defined issue: Swift
#error (Register for API Key and insert here. Then delete this line.)Objective-C
#error Register for API Key and insert here.
