How to fit a certain bounds consisting of NE and SW coordinates into the visible map view?

Question

I need to fit a certain bounds within a map. I get the bounds from calling the google geocoder and reading the viewport property which looks like:

{
    northeas         


        

Answer 1

I found something that works. I ended up going with this:

- (MKMapRect) mapRectThatFitsBoundsSW:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)sw 
                                   NE:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)ne {
    MKMapPoint nePoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(ne);
    MKMapPoint swPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(sw);
    CGFloat width = ABS(nePoint.x - swPoint.x);
    CGFloat height = ABS(nePoint.y - swPoint.y);
    MKMapRect newMapRect = MKMapRectMake(
        MIN(swPoint.x, nePoint.x), 
        MIN(swPoint.y, nePoint.y), 
        width, 
        height
    );

    // if (!MKMapRectSpans180thMeridian(newMapRect)) {
        return newMapRect;
    // } else {
        // ????
    // }
}
