Objectivec fixed marker on center of google map ios

Question

I want to fix the marker in the center of the map irrespective of the location coordinates. If the user moves the camera on map I want it to keep showing up in the center without any flickering in marker and new location on that marker shows, How can I do that? Please help out.

Try the below code

GMSCameraPosition *cameraPosition;

- (void)mapView:(GMSMapView *)pMapView didChangeCameraPosition:(GMSCameraPosition *)position {

        /* move draggable pin */
        if (fixedMarker) {

            // stick it on map and start dragging from there..
            if (lastCameraPosition == nil) lastCameraPosition = position;

            // Algebra :) substract coordinates with the difference of camera changes
            double lat = position.target.latitude - lastCameraPosition.target.latitude;
            double lng = position.target.longitude - lastCameraPosition.target.longitude;
            lastCameraPosition = position;
            CLLocationCoordinate2D newCoords = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(fixedMarker.googleMarker.position.latitude+lat,
                                                                          fixedMarker.googleMarker.position.longitude+lng);
            [fixedMarker.googleMarker setPosition:newCoords];
            return;
        }

    }

    - (void)mapView:(GMSMapView *)mapView idleAtCameraPosition:(GMSCameraPosition *)position {

        cameraPosition = nil; // reset pin moving, no ice skating pins ;)

    }
