Google Maps SDK iOS Satellite View

Question

How do I get the Satellite View on my iOS App? The code on the Google SDK Website doesn't work. I'm running the latest version of Xcode.

If I use the provided code on the Google SDK Website, I get this error:

Use of unresolved identifier 'kGMSTypeSatellite'.

The code I'm using from the Google Developer website is:

let camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withLatitude: -33.8683, longitude: 151.2086, zoom: 6)
let mapView = GMSMapView.map(withFrame: .zero, camera: camera)
mapView.mapType = kGMSTypeSatellite

Thanks.

 

Answer 1

you are calling like this: mapView.mapType = kGMSTypeSatellite

You should call your mapView like

let mapView = GMSMapView.map(withFrame: CGRect.zero, camera: camera) mapView.mapType = GMSMapViewType.satellite.
