Embed Google Maps in UIView with correct Frame - ios

Question

In my iOS application, I have a parent mapViewController(UIView) to which I try to add to Google Maps subview by executing [self.mapViewContainer addSubview:mapView_];
While initialising the mapView_, I try to use the bounds of the container UIView, so that it utlisises the entire space by executing:
mapView_ = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:self.mapViewContainer.bounds camera:camera];
While the map appears just fine, whenever I try to center the map on coordinate, the cordinate which is supposed to be centered is either at the bottom right, or bottom center, depending on potrait / landscape mode.
My impression is that the map extends beyond the intended margins, which I'm unable to fix.
Is there any way to easily accomplish what I'm trying to do. I have tried initialising mapView_ as
GMSMapView *mapView_ = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectZero camera:camera];
But that just displayed an empty screen.

Answer 1

You can place Google Map View in storyboard if possible.
If you want to do in code, avoid using frame, try use constraints.

Answer 2

following line google map not shown because you use CGRectZero.so that's why not display your google map.
GMSMapView *mapView_ = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectZero camera:camera];
This code work for me...you may be helped..
See my code...you show your google map in view controller.
GMSCameraPosition *camera ;
if ( UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad )
{
camera = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:<pass your latitude>
longitude:<pass your longitude>
zoom:17];
}
else
{
camera = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:<pass your latitude>
longitude:<pass your longitude>
zoom:16];
}
GMSMapView *mapView = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, self.view.frame.size.width , self.view.frame.size.height) camera:camera];
mapView.myLocationEnabled = YES;
if ( UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad )
{
[mapView setMinZoom:17 maxZoom:23];
}
else
{
[mapView setMinZoom:16 maxZoom:20];
}
// [mapView setMinZoom:16 maxZoom:20];
// mapView.settings.indoorPicker =YES;
GMSMarker *marker = [[GMSMarker alloc] init];
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(<pass your latitude>,<pass your longitude>);
marker.appearAnimation = kGMSMarkerAnimationPop;
marker.title =#"Driver's location";
marker.icon = [UIImage imageNamed:#"GoogleIcon"];
marker.map = mapView;
[self.view addSubview:mapView];
[self.view insertSubview:self.btnRefresh aboveSubview:mapView];
