Moving Google Maps Camera to a Location

Swift 2.3

This code is used for my purpose. In which marker tap event used, which moves camera position of map. Hope you find your solution.

 func mapView(mapView: GMSMapView, didTapMarker marker: GMSMarker) -> Bool {
        mapView.selectedMarker = marker
        var point = mapView.projection.pointForCoordinate(marker.position)
        let camera = mapView.projection.coordinateForPoint(point)
        let position = GMSCameraUpdate.setTarget(camera)
        mapView.animateWithCameraUpdate(position)
        return true
    }

The GMSMapView class has the following function:

animate(to: GMSCameraPosition)

So in your code sample, instead of doing this:

mapView.camera = location

Try doing this:

mapView.animate(to: location)

Hope this helps!

For Objective-c the method is:

[mapView moveCamera:[GMSCameraUpdate setTarget:<CLLocationCoordinate2DMake>]];

in Swift3 and Swift4 for moving marker to current position use this:

func myLocationBtnAction(_ sender: UIButton) {
            mapView.moveCamera(GMSCameraUpdate.setTarget(CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: (mapView.myLocation?.coordinate.latitude)!, longitude: (mapView.myLocation?.coordinate.longitude)!), zoom: 16))

and for a specific location use this:

let camera = GMSCameraPosition.camera(withLatitude: lat, longitude: lng, zoom: 16)
            mapView?.camera = camera
            mapView?.animate(to: camera)

and don't forget to extend GMSAutocompleteViewControllerDelegate for current location
