displaying google map within a UIView - swift3

Question

I am using google maps with iOS.
this is my code:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var myMapView: GMSMapView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Create a GMSCameraPosition that tells the map to display the
// coordinate -33.86,151.20 at zoom level 6.
let camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withLatitude: +31.75097946, longitude: +35.23694368, zoom: 17.0)
let mapView = GMSMapView.map(withFrame: CGRect.zero, camera: camera)
mapView.isMyLocationEnabled = true
mapView.mapType = .terrain
self.view = mapView
// Creates a marker in the center of the map.
let marker = GMSMarker()
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: +31.75097946, longitude: +35.23694368)
marker.title = "my location"
marker.map = mapView
}
How would i get the map to be attached to myMapView UIView?
Is there a way for the marker title to appear always?
thanks

Answer 1

To place a google map inside a UIView, then you need to drag a UIView object onto your canvas and subclass it as GMSMapView then create an outlet to it in your code - then you can use the following code to initialise it:
#IBOutlet weak var miniview: GMSMapView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withLatitude: +31.75097946, longitude: +35.23694368, zoom: 6.0)
miniview.camera = camera
let marker = GMSMarker()
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: +31.75097946, longitude: +35.23694368)
marker.title = "my location"
marker.map = miniview
}

You just have to use the outlet you created.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var myMapView: GMSMapView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Create a GMSCameraPosition that tells the map to display the
// coordinate -33.86,151.20 at zoom level 6.
let camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withLatitude: +31.75097946, longitude: +35.23694368, zoom: 17.0)
let mapView = GMSMapView.map(withFrame: CGRect.zero, camera: camera)
mapView.isMyLocationEnabled = true
mapView.mapType = .terrain
// CHANGE THIS
self.myMapView = mapView
// Creates a marker in the center of the map.
let marker = GMSMarker()
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: +31.75097946, longitude: +35.23694368)
marker.title = "my location"
marker.map = mapView
}
