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

.enter image description here

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. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/reference/interface_g_m_s_map_view#a04faba924be73a0ea5bb9ae300da1c9a – Verma Mar 16 '15 at 15:54
  • @Verma 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. – FabKremer Mar 16 '15 at 17:05

    @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 :) – FabKremer Jan 12 '16 at 14:12

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.
