How to update multiple location without clearing GoogleMap - swift

Question

I have load couple of users in map with clustering and now I want to update the users location as per the users new location which I receive from server.
I'm able to do that by clearing the map and load new users data from server but it looks like markers are jumping and it not looks proper.
Is there any way to update the marker locations without clearing the GoogleMap?
Here is the link of my question : Google Map with Cluster and Custom view marker lagging too much while zoomIn and zoomOut
Reference Screen
if some one is moved from his location then how can I update his/her location once I receive updated data from server. (Without clearing the map)
My Code
func setMarkers() {
for i in 0..<SharedData.sharedInstance.allFriends.count {
let marker = GMSMarker()
let friend = SharedData.sharedInstance.allFriends[i]
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2D.init(latitude: friend.user_details.latitude , longitude: friend.user_details.longitude)
marker.accessibilityHint = String(i)
marker.icon = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "trans")
marker.tracksViewChanges = true
marker.map = mapView
arrMarkers.append(marker)
self.generatePOIItems(String(format: "%d", i), position: marker.position, icon: nil, friend: friend, userIndex: i)
}
clusterManager.cluster()
clusterManager.setDelegate(self, mapDelegate: self)
}
func updateMarkers() {
for i in 0..<arrMarkers.count {
let marker = arrMarkers[i]
let friend = SharedData.sharedInstance.allFriends[i]
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2D.init(latitude: friend.user_details.latitude , longitude: friend.user_details.longitude)
marker.accessibilityHint = String(i)
marker.icon = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "trans")
marker.tracksViewChanges = true
marker.map = mapView
}
self.defaultCamera(latitude: SharedData.sharedInstance.userLocation.coordinate.latitude, longitude: SharedData.sharedInstance.userLocation.coordinate.longitude)
}
EDIT
func generatePOIItems(_ accessibilityLabel: String, position: CLLocationCoordinate2D, icon: UIImage?, friend: WallBeeppClass, userIndex: Int) {
let name = "Item \(accessibilityLabel)"
let item = POIItem(position: CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(position.latitude, position.longitude), name: name, friend: friend, userIndex: userIndex)
clusterManager.add(item)
}
func updateMarkers() {
for i in 0..<arrMarkers.count {
let marker = arrMarkers[i]
let friend = SharedData.sharedInstance.allFriends[i]
CATransaction.begin()
CATransaction.setAnimationDuration(1.0)
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2D.init(latitude: friend.user_details.latitude , longitude: friend.user_details.longitude)
CATransaction.commit()
}
}
EDIT 1
If I change some users location from backend and when I got users new location then I update the marker position using above code but the issue is that new location users are still located at old location. and if I clear & redraw the users data then it works fine.
EDIT 2
func renderer(_ renderer: GMUClusterRenderer, willRenderMarker marker: GMSMarker) {
marker.groundAnchor = CGPoint(x: 0.1, y: 0.45)
if let markerData = (marker.userData as? POIItem) {
let infoWindow = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("InitialMapInfoView", owner: self, options: nil)?.first as! InitialMapInfoView
infoWindow.imgUser.sd_setImage(with: URL(string: markerData.friend.user_details.user_photo_small), placeholderImage: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "User_profile"), options: .highPriority, completed: nil)
if !markerData.friend.user_details.isUserOnline {
infoWindow.imgCar.image = UIImage.init(named: "small_inactive_" + markerData.friend.user_details.car_personality_name)
}
else {
infoWindow.imgCar.image = UIImage.init(named: "small_" + markerData.friend.user_details.car_personality_name)
}
if markerData.friend.user_details.user_id == 88 {
print("Will Rendrer Marker: \(markerData.friend.user_details.latitude)")
print("Will Rendrer Marker: \(markerData.friend.user_details.longitude)")
}
infoWindow.lblName.text = markerData.friend.user_details.name
infoWindow.btnImgVW.tag = markerData.userIndex
infoWindow.btnImgVW.addTarget(self, action: #selector(btnUserTapped(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)
marker.accessibilityHint = String(markerData.userIndex)
marker.iconView = infoWindow
marker.tracksViewChanges = false
}
Please guide me to do this.

Answer 1

you can subclass GMSMarker, add id of your objects, then get markers by object id you got from server and update position. Here is some code to explain what I mean
class MyMarker: GMSMarker {
var id: String? = nil
}
add id to your marker
func setMarkers() {
let marker = MyMarker()
let friend = SharedData.sharedInstance.allFriends[I]
marker.id = friend.id
than update by id
for friend in SharedData.sharedInstance.allFriends {
guard
let marker = array.first { $0.id == friend.id }
else { contiunue }
marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2D.init(latitude: friend.user_details.latitude , longitude: friend.user_details.longitude)
}
don't add marker to map again, just change it's position
