For Swift 4.0

When you setup your GMSMapView:

mapView.isMyLocationEnabled = false

And when user location is updated:

func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {

    let userLocationMarker = GMSMarker(position: location.coordinate)
    userLocationMarker.icon = UIImage(named: "yourImageName")
    userLocationMarker.map = mapView   
}
