How to enable Google Maps zoom controls using Swift

google-maps-sdk-ios, ios, swift, swift3

Solution

I think @Scriptable is right, the documentation hasn't a section for `Zoom Controls` for `iOS SDK`.

Well, I made my own (and very basic) controls.

Keep this order (`MapView`, `Button`, `Button`), else, you can't see the buttons.

First one, you must select your `UIVIew` and change the class to `GSMMapView`

and, in the `MapViewController`

import Foundation
import UIKit
import GoogleMaps

class MapViewController: UIViewController {

    struct Place {
        let id: Int
        let name: String
        let lat: CLLocationDegrees
        let lng: CLLocationDegrees
        let icon: String
    }

    @IBOutlet weak var mapView: GMSMapView!
    var markerDict: [Int: GMSMarker] = [:]

    var zoom: Float = 15

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withLatitude: 34.1381168, longitude: -118.3555723, zoom: zoom)
        self.mapView.camera = camera

        do {
            if let styleURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "style", withExtension: "json") {
                mapView.mapStyle = try GMSMapStyle(contentsOfFileURL: styleURL)
            } else {
                NSLog("Unable to find style.json")
            }
        } catch {
            NSLog("One or more of the map styles failed to load. \(error)")
        }

        let places = [
            Place(id: 0, name: "MrMins", lat: 34.1331168, lng: -118.3550723, icon: "i01"),
        ]

        for place in places {
            let marker = GMSMarker()
            marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: place.lat, longitude: place.lng)
            marker.title = place.name
            marker.snippet = "Custom snipet message \(place.name)"
            marker.appearAnimation = kGMSMarkerAnimationPop
            //marker.icon = self.imageWithImage(image: UIImage(named: place.icon)!, scaledToSize: CGSize(width: 35.0, height: 35.0))
            marker.map = self.mapView

            markerDict[place.id] = marker
        }

    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }



    @IBAction func btnZoomIn(_ sender: Any) {
        zoom = zoom + 1
        self.mapView.animate(toZoom: zoom)
    }

    @IBAction func btnZoomOut(_ sender: Any) {
        zoom = zoom - 1
        self.mapView.animate(toZoom: zoom)
    }


}
