For custom view as marker, you can use iconView of GMSMarker.

- (UIView*) iconView

Marker view to render. If left nil, falls back to the icon property instead. Supports animation of all animatable properties of UIView, except frame and center. Changing these properties or their corresponding CALayer version, including position, is not supported. Note that the view behaves as if clipsToBounds is set to YES, regardless of its actual value.

For more refer to: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/reference/interface_g_m_s_marker.html#aa16a89bd5187e64e71c57c31c150a44d

Just set your custom view as the iconView of your marker.

 let marker = GMSMarker()
 marker.iconView = UIView() //Your custom view here
