    @IBOutlet weak var searchBar: UISearchBar!
    @IBOutlet weak var toolBar: UIToolbar!
    @IBOutlet weak var mapView: GMSMapView!

        self.mapView.camera = camera

        let initialLocation = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(52.520736, 13.409423)

        marker.title = "Berlin"
        marker.map = mapView

    }
