Issues with the current location image

Question

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?

Did you also use (CLLocation*) myLocation [read, assign]? If My Location is enabled, reveals where the user location dot is being drawn. developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/reference/… – Gamine

@Gamine I think problem has nothing to do with that. I don't know if I was clear, but the dot is being drawn, the location is correct, and the blue dot is there, but it has a strange square white image as background in iOS 8.2. In prior iOS versions the dot looks perfect. – Plat

Also seeing this. @Plat - have you found a solution yet? – Nissie

you got any solution ??? @Plat – Smashed

@amitgupta nope, even after upgrading to their latest version no fix to that dot. Very odd. On the other hand the dot is ok in my phone so I forget this bug :) – Plat

Answer 1

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.
