Google Maps for iOS, swift - How to show entire polyline between markers?

Question

I am trying to fit a polyline in the google map view. The polyline was acquired through overview_polyline in the google maps directions api.

Wondering how I would be able to convert an encoded polyline into something that can be worked with. I need to fit the polyline in the map view. All i have found out to do is fit the bounds to show all markers but not showcase the entire polyline.

func fitAllMarkers()
{

    var bounds = GMSCoordinateBounds()

    for marker in markers
    {
        bounds = bounds.includingCoordinate(marker.position)
    }

    googleMapView.animateWithCameraUpdate(GMSCameraUpdate.fitBounds(bounds))

}

For Swift 2.0 Google Maps, to make your map view fit the polyline of the route you are drawing:

let path: GMSPath = GMSPath(fromEncodedPath: route)!
    routePolyline = GMSPolyline(path: path)
    routePolyline.map = mapView


    var bounds = GMSCoordinateBounds()

    for index in 1...path.count() {
        bounds = bounds.includingCoordinate(path.coordinateAtIndex(index))
    }

    mapView.animateWithCameraUpdate(GMSCameraUpdate.fitBounds(bounds))
