GMSMarkerLayeris a subclass ofGMSOverlayLayer, available on a per-marker basis, that allows
animation of several properties of its associatedGMSMarker.
Note that thisCALayeris never actually rendered directly, asGMSMapViewis provided
entirely via an OpenGL layer. As such, adjustments or animations to ‘default’ properties ofCALayerwill not have any effect.
