# Google Maps SDK for iOS

This pod contains the Google Maps SDK for iOS, supporting both Objective-C and
Swift.

Use the [Google Maps SDK for iOS](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/)
to enrich your app with interactive maps and immersive Street View panoramas,
and add your own custom elements such as markers, windows and polylines.

# Installation

1. Before you can use the Google Maps SDK for iOS, follow these [setup instructions](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/cloud-setup) to set up a project and get an API key. You will need to add the API key to your code in order to build your app with the Maps SDK for iOS.

1. To integrate Google Maps SDK for iOS into your Xcode project using CocoaPods,
specify it in your `Podfile`, for example:

    ```
    source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
    platform :ios, '16.0'
    target 'YOUR_APPLICATION_TARGET_NAME_HERE' do
      pod 'GoogleMaps', '7.1.0'
    end
    ```

    Then, run the following command:

    ```
    $ pod install
    ```

1. Follow additional steps in the ["Set up an Xcode project"](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/config) guide to add your API key to your project, import classes, and add a map.
