GoogleMaps Framework Reference

  • GMSMapViewType defines the display styles for a GMSMapView, offering options like normal, satellite, terrain, hybrid, and none.

  • The default map type is kGMSTypeNormal which presents a basic map with support for both light and dark color schemes.

  • Other map types include satellite imagery with or without labels (kGMSTypeSatellite, kGMSTypeHybrid), terrain maps (kGMSTypeTerrain), and a display with no map data (kGMSTypeNone).

  • Each map type has corresponding Swift and Objective-C enumerations for easy integration into your code.
