Then I added another UIView inside that as child and then I changed class name to GMSMapView. After that I made an Outlet to UIViewController.

@IBOutlet weak var GMSMap: GMSMapView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let mapView = GMSMapView.map(withFrame: GMSMap.frame, camera: GMSCameraPosition.camera(withLatitude: 6.9271, longitude: 79.8612, zoom: 10))
    let marker = GMSMarker()

    marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 6.9271, longitude: 79.8612)
    marker.title = "Colombo"
    marker.snippet = "Sri Lanka"
    marker.map = mapView
    self.view.addSubview(mapView)

}
