To animate/set the camera to your current position you first have to:

self.googleMapsView.myLocationEnabled = YES;

Then in the documentation of the GMSMapView header file you will find the following comment:

/**
* If My Location is enabled, reveals where the user location dot is being
* drawn. If it is disabled, or it is enabled but no location data is available,
* this will be nil.  This property is observable using KVO.
*/ 
@property (nonatomic, strong, readonly) CLLocation *myLocation;

So you can setup a key value observer in your viewWillAppear Method and then you get your location update with the Location Manager of the GoogleMaps SDK.

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    // Implement here to check if already KVO is implemented.
    ...
    [self.googleMapsView addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"myLocation" options:NSKeyValueObservingNew context: nil]
}

And then observe the property.

- (void)observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context
{
    if ([keyPath isEqualToString:@"myLocation"] && [object isKindOfClass:[GMSMapView class]])
    {
        [self.googleMapsView animateToCameraPosition:[GMSCameraPosition cameraWithLatitude:self.googleMapsView.myLocation.coordinate.latitude
                                                                                 longitude:self.googleMapsView.myLocation.coordinate.longitude
                                                                                      zoom:self.googleMapsView.projection.zoom]];
    }
}

Do not forget to deregister your observer in the viewWillDisappear.

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
    // Implement here if the view has registered KVO
    ...
    [self.googleMapsView removeObserver:self forKeyPath:@"myLocation"];
}

Best regards
