Zooming MKMapView to fit annotation pins?
This is the one I found here that worked for me:
(EDIT: I have updated the solution using @Micah's suggestion to increase the pointRect by 0.1 to ensure the rect doesn't end up being infinitesimally small!)
MKMapRect zoomRect = MKMapRectNull;for (id <MKAnnotation> annotation in mapView.annotations){ MKMapPoint annotationPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(annotation.coordinate); MKMapRect pointRect = MKMapRectMake(annotationPoint.x, annotationPoint.y, 0.1, 0.1); zoomRect = MKMapRectUnion(zoomRect, pointRect);}[mapView setVisibleMapRect:zoomRect animated:YES];
You could also update this to include the userLocation pin by replacing the first line with:
MKMapPoint annotationPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(mapView.userLocation.coordinate);MKMapRect zoomRect = MKMapRectMake(annotationPoint.x, annotationPoint.y, 0.1, 0.1);
You've got it right.
Find your maximum and minimum latitudes and longitudes, apply some simple arithmetic, and use MKCoordinateRegionMake
.
For iOS 7 and above, use showAnnotations:animated:
, from MKMapView.h
:
// Position the map such that the provided array of annotations are all visible to the fullest extent possible. - (void)showAnnotations:(NSArray *)annotations animated:(BOOL)animated NS_AVAILABLE(10_9, 7_0);
Apple has added a new method for IOS 7 to simplify life a bit.
[mapView showAnnotations:yourAnnotationArray animated:YES];
You can easily pull from an array stored in the map view:
yourAnnotationArray = mapView.annotations;
and quickly adjust the camera too!
mapView.camera.altitude *= 1.4;
this won't work unless the user has iOS 7+ or OS X 10.9+ installed. check out custom animation here
