Move GMSMarker on Google Map Like UBER

Question

I am developing some navigation tasks on google map. I have to move markers as vehicles moves with turns as uber does in their app. I have tried different solutions as offer

Answer 1

Some how working with this code. You can try with this code with some logics change. But, it will work fine.

CLLocationCoordinate2D oldCoodinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([[data valueForKey:@"lat"]doubleValue],[[data valueForKey:@"lng"]doubleValue]);
CLLocationCoordinate2D newCoodinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([[data valueForKey:@"lat"]doubleValue],[[data valueForKey:@"lng"]doubleValue]);

driverMarker.groundAnchor = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5);
driverMarker.rotation = [self getHeadingForDirectionFromCoordinate:oldCoodinate toCoordinate:newCoodinate]; //found bearing value by calculation when marker add
driverMarker.position = oldCoodinate; //this can be old position to make car movement to new position
driverMarker.map = mapView_;

//marker movement animation
[CATransaction begin];
[CATransaction setValue:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:2.0] forKey:kCATransactionAnimationDuration];
[CATransaction setCompletionBlock:^{
    driverMarker.groundAnchor = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5);
    driverMarker.rotation = [[data valueForKey:@"bearing"] doubleValue]; //New bearing value from backend after car movement is done
}];

driverMarker.position = newCoodinate; //this can be new position after car moved from old position to new position with animation
driverMarker.map = mapView_;
driverMarker.groundAnchor = CGPointMake(0.5, 0.5);
driverMarker.rotation = [self getHeadingForDirectionFromCoordinate:oldCoodinate toCoordinate:newCoodinate]; //found bearing value by calculation
[CATransaction commit];

define these two in .h file

#define degreesToRadians(x) (M_PI * x / 180.0)
#define radiansToDegrees(x) (x * 180.0 / M_PI)

method for get bearing value from old and new coordinates

- (float)getHeadingForDirectionFromCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)fromLoc toCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)toLoc
{
    float fLat = degreesToRadians(fromLoc.latitude);
    float fLng = degreesToRadians(fromLoc.longitude);
    float tLat = degreesToRadians(toLoc.latitude);
    float tLng = degreesToRadians(toLoc.longitude);

    float degree = radiansToDegrees(atan2(sin(tLng-fLng)*cos(tLat), cos(fLat)*sin(tLat)-sin(fLat)*cos(tLat)*cos(tLng-fLng)));

    if (degree >= 0) {
        return degree;
    } else {
        return 360+degree;
    }
}

Swift 3.1

     var oldCoodinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D? = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(CDouble((data.value(forKey: "lat") as? CLLocationCoordinate2D)), CDouble((data.value(forKey: "lng") as? CLLocationCoordinate2D)))
        var newCoodinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D? = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(CDouble((data.value(forKey: "lat") as? CLLocationCoordinate2D)), CDouble((data.value(forKey: "lng") as? CLLocationCoordinate2D)))
        driverMarker.groundAnchor = CGPoint(x: CGFloat(0.5), y: CGFloat(0.5))
        driverMarker.rotation = getHeadingForDirection(fromCoordinate: oldCoodinate, toCoordinate: newCoodinate)
        //found bearing value by calculation when marker add
        driverMarker.position = oldCoodinate
        //this can be old position to make car movement to new position
        driverMarker.map = mapView_
        //marker movement animation
        CATransaction.begin()
        CATransaction.setValue(Int(2.0), forKey: kCATransactionAnimationDuration)
        CATransaction.setCompletionBlock({() -> Void in
            driverMarker.groundAnchor = CGPoint(x: CGFloat(0.5), y: CGFloat(0.5))
            driverMarker.rotation = CDouble(data.value(forKey: "bearing"))
            //New bearing value from backend after car movement is done
        })
        driverMarker.position = newCoodinate
        //this can be new position after car moved from old position to new position with animation
        driverMarker.map = mapView_
        driverMarker.groundAnchor = CGPoint(x: CGFloat(0.5), y: CGFloat(0.5))
        driverMarker.rotation = getHeadingForDirection(fromCoordinate: oldCoodinate, toCoordinate: newCoodinate)
        //found bearing value by calculation
        CATransaction.commit()

extension Int {
    var degreesToRadians: Double { return Double(self) * .pi / 180 }
}
extension FloatingPoint {
    var degreesToRadians: Self { return self * .pi / 180 }
    var radiansToDegrees: Self { return self * 180 / .pi }
}

func getHeadingForDirection(fromCoordinate fromLoc: CLLocationCoordinate2D, toCoordinate toLoc: CLLocationCoordinate2D) -> Float {

        let fLat: Float = Float((fromLoc.latitude).degreesToRadians)
        let fLng: Float = Float((fromLoc.longitude).degreesToRadians)
        let tLat: Float = Float((toLoc.latitude).degreesToRadians)
        let tLng: Float = Float((toLoc.longitude).degreesToRadians)
        let degree: Float = (atan2(sin(tLng - fLng) * cos(tLat), cos(fLat) * sin(tLat) - sin(fLat) * cos(tLat) * cos(tLng - fLng))).radiansToDegrees
        if degree >= 0 {
            return degree
        }
        else {
            return 360 + degree
        }
    }
