Display google map in particular view

Question

I want the google maps to be displayed in only half of the screen and there are other items to be displayed in other half of the screen. So, I have divided the iPhone screen into two UIViews, mapView and detailView. When i try to have the google map inside mapView, it gives blank screen. Whereas It display map in the whole screen when it is assigned to self.view as follow.

doesn't show in mapView

GMSCameraPosition *camera = [GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:-33.86
                                                        longitude:151.20
                                                             zoom:6];
GMSMapView *mapView_ = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectZero camera:camera];
mapView_.myLocationEnabled = YES;
self.mapView = mapView_; //Doesn't work

// Creates a marker in the center of the map.
GMSMarker *marker = [[GMSMarker alloc] init];
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(-33.86, 151.20);
marker.title = @"Sydney";
marker.snippet = @"Australia";
marker.map = mapView_;

I think the problem is in this line **[GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectZero camera:camera];**. You have to give frame to google map — Chirag Shah, Aug 28 '15 at 04:47

Change this line:

GMSMapView *mapView_ = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:CGRectZero camera:camera];

To this:

   GMSMapView *mapView_ = [GMSMapView mapWithFrame:self.mapView.frame camera:camera];

That should fix your problem, if you've set up the separate view appropriately and should match to that views frame.
