Answer 1

Swift 3:

mapView.settings.scrollGestures = false

Google fixed this issue with google maps sdk 1.10.0.

The solution is to simply add this line when configuring GMSMapview:

_mapView.settings.allowScrollGesturesDuringRotateOrZoom = NO;

Answer 3

Well, after 10 days of going back to this problem, I finally solved it! The answer was pretty easy!

Few steps here: 1. Add imageView as marker on top of the GMSMapView 2. Add UIPanGestureRecognizer to the GMSMapView (don't forget to set delegate, it is important) 3. Then use this code:

- (void) didPan:(UIPanGestureRecognizer*) gestureRecognizer
{
    if (gestureRecognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded)
    {
        _mapView.settings.scrollGestures = true;
    }
}

- (BOOL)gestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer shouldRecognizeSimultaneouslyWithGestureRecognizer:(UIGestureRecognizer *)otherGestureRecognizer
{
    if (gestureRecognizer.numberOfTouches > 1)
    {
        _mapView.settings.scrollGestures = false;
    }
    else
    {
        _mapView.settings.scrollGestures = true;
    }
    return true;
}
