Customize Google Maps blue dot for current location
currentlocation, google-maps, google-maps-markers, google-maps-sdk-ios, ios
Solution
There is no way to do this with current version of the SDK (1.4.3), and actually there is an open issue with this request: Look here.
As a work around, you can hide the default button with:
_map.myLocationEnabled = NO;
Then create a custom `GMSMarker`
GMSMarker *pointMarker = [GMSMarker markerWithPosition:currentPosition];
pointMarker.icon = [UIImage imageNamed:@"YourImage"];
pointMarker.map = _map;
And change the position of it using a `CLLocationManager`, so it always show the current position. It's a bit tricky but is the only way, I could think, that you can achieve this. If you need a more complete example let me know.
Problem
I'm using a 2013 version of Google Maps SDK for iOS. I would like to customize the default blue dot for current location with another icon or pulsing circles around. I know we can do that with `mapView:viewForAnnotation:` in MKMapView, but I can't found out how to do it with Google Maps.
