Just in case you want to load Google Map at any initial Location programmatically then you can use this piece of code,

FragmentManager fm = getFragmentManager(); // getChildFragmentManager inside fragments.
CameraPosition cp = new CameraPosition.Builder()
                    .target(initialLatLng) // your initial co-ordinates here. like, LatLng initialLatLng
                    .zoom(zoom_level)
                    .build();
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance(new GoogleMapOptions().camera(cp));
fm.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.rl_map, mapFragment).commit();

Add this piece of code for layout

This will load GoogleMap at particular Location directly i.e, initialLatLng.
