Google Maps ambiguously uses GMSMapViewType

Question

I just upgraded to Xcode 7.1. When I try to set mapType for the GMSMapView, I get an error. Ambiguous use of "kGMSTypeNormal", ambiguous use of "kGMSTypeTerrain" and ambiguous use of "kGMSTypeHybrid".

@IBOutlet weak var mapView: GMSMapView! func myfunc() { if let myMapType = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().stringForKey(SettingsTableViewController.History.MapType) { switch myMapType { case "kGMSTypeNormal": mapView.mapType = kGMSTypeNormal case "kGMSTypeTerrain": mapView.mapType = kGMSTypeTerrain case "kGMSTypeHybrid": mapView.mapType = kGMSTypeHybrid default: break mapView.mapType = kGMSTypeNormal } } else { mapView.mapType = kGMSTypeNormal } } 

Answer 1

I'm not sure why, but put "GoogleMaps". before all kGMSTypes (i.e. GoogleMaps.kGMSTypeNormal) the problem is fixed.

Answer 2

 mapView.mapType = GMSMapViewType(rawValue: 1)! 

• kGMSTypeNormal = 1
• kGMSTypeSatellite = 2
• kGMSTypeTerrain = 3
• kGMSTypeHybrid = 4
• kGMSTypeNone = 5

Answer 3

here is the updated version

 import UIKit import GoogleMaps class ViewController: UIViewController, GMSMapViewDelegate { var mapView: GMSMapView! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() mapView = GMSMapView(frame: self.view.bounds) mapView.animate(toViewingAngle: 45) mapView.mapType = GMSMapViewType.satellite self.view = mapView } 

Answer 4

If you open GMSMapViewType, you will see that it is defined as an enumeration. In your switch statement, you are comparing it with strings, which is wrong. You better compare them with integers.

 kGMSTypeNormal = 1 kGMSTypeSatellite = 2 kGMSTypeTerrain = 3 kGMSTypeHybrid = 4 kGMSTypeNone = 5 

Answer 5

You need to use like this

mapView.mapType = GoogleMaps.kGMSTypeSatellite

Answer 6

In Swift 3 use below:

.normal .hybrid .satellite .terrain
