if UIApplication.shared.canOpenURL(URL(string:"comgooglemaps://")!) {
        UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "comgooglemaps://?center=\(self.latitude),\(self.longitude)")!, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
    } else {
         print("Opening in Apple Map")

    let coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(self.latitude, self.longitude)
    let region = MKCoordinateRegionMake(coordinate, MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.01, 0.02))
    let placemark = MKPlacemark(coordinate: coordinate, addressDictionary: nil)
    let mapItem = MKMapItem(placemark: placemark)
    let options = [
        MKLaunchOptionsMapCenterKey: NSValue(mkCoordinate: region.center),
        MKLaunchOptionsMapSpanKey: NSValue(mkCoordinateSpan: region.span)]
    mapItem.name = theLocationName
    mapItem.openInMaps(launchOptions: options)
    }

Use this code for opening in google map if it's installed else open in default apple map.
