I'm using the Google Maps SDK to display a map in my iOS app. Actually, in prior iOS versions (<=8.1) the default blue icon for current location displays correctly, but now in the iOS 8.2 simulator the blue dot looks like this
.
I'm following the exact steps from the google maps SDK documentation
To show the current location I just do:
mapView.myLocationEnabled = true
Any thoughts?
This is a bug. This will not show in real devices. This might be due to drawing the current location on the map in simulator.

I made a page in my app that shows a Google map with plenty of markers. When I run it with my android emulator it runs without any problem, but when I set the same android emulator to operate as an iOS device, (with dart dev) it shows only a white screen.
The Google maps watermark doesn't show up neither do the markers and everything. I have already checked my API key and it's correct. Maybe it's an emulator error. I have tried the same in many android emulators.

Would anyone have any ideas?
You should set embedded views preview in Info.plist.
Add the key io.flutter.embedded_views_preview and the value YES in Info.plist file.
In my case, the simulator's location was set to none. Setting to Apple fixed the white screen.
I am facing a very strange issue in iPhone simulator.
I have used Map in my app and while I run my app on the simulator it's not loading and I can see just grid on the screen.
My App Screen:
Default Maps App:
Is there any setting or anything which helps me to see Map on the iPhone simulator?
Note: I can get my current location and movement on my MapView but not able to see the visual view of the map on the screen.
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to simulate a moving location (freeway drive) on the ios simulator, however it simply doesn't work. The only location that works is the static Custom Location... option.
To reproduce the problem:
open up Xcode>open developer tools>simulator,
open up the maps app
set debug>location to "Freeway Drive"
press the location button in the bottom left corner
It loads for a while, then says:
Current Location Not Available
Your current location cannot be determined at this time
When I open up system.log, I see the message:
SimulatorBridge[41185]: Selected location simulation scenario does not exist
I'm using Xcode 7.1.1 and the iPhone 6s / iOS 9.1 simulator. I've tried:
Setting a default location
Resetting the simulator in Simulator>Reset Content and Settings...
Reinstalling the simulator
but nothing seems to work. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Ok, this may be a problem on Apple's end with Simulator for iOS 9.1.
I downloaded the iOS 9.0 simulator instead (Xcode>Preference>Downloads), fired up Maps in Simulator with the location set to Freeway Drive, and everything works -the location updates.
If you've had trouble simulating a moving location in your own app, just download and use a previous iOS Simulator version like above. Make sure you clean your project in Xcode first (Product>Clean), then rebuild it and everything should work fine.
I just updated my iOS app with the latest google maps version 1.9. It happens that sometimes the "current location" icon gets this white rectangle around it. Any clue why?
How do I simulate GPS movement on iOS simulator? I am developing an app that uses gps an I need to test it while the user location is changing.. How can I do that? thank you in advance..
From the Features > Location menu of the iOS Simulator, check the Location menu:
Note: The screenshot below is outdated, however the path above has been updated to reflect the proper menu location for this option.
It provides you with several options pertaining to changing the location of the simulated device.
For those that are getting here in 2020, things have changed a little bit,
You'll find the options to modify location settings under Features
