MKMapView center and zoom in

Question

I am using MKMapView on a project and would like to center the map on a coordinate and zoom in. Just like Google maps has:

GMSCameraPosition.camera(withLatitude:

Code based on : http://troybrant.net/blog/2010/01/set-the-zoom-level-of-an-mkmapview/

    extension MKMapView {
    var MERCATOR_OFFSET : Double {
        return 268435456.0
    }

    var MERCATOR_RADIUS : Double  {
        return 85445659.44705395
    }

    private func longitudeToPixelSpaceX(longitude: Double) -> Double {
        return round(MERCATOR_OFFSET + MERCATOR_RADIUS * longitude * M_PI / 180.0)
    }

    private func latitudeToPixelSpaceY(latitude: Double) -> Double {
        return round(MERCATOR_OFFSET - MERCATOR_RADIUS * log((1 + sin(latitude * M_PI / 180.0)) / (1 - sin(latitude * M_PI / 180.0))) / 2.0)
    }

    private  func pixelSpaceXToLongitude(pixelX: Double) -> Double {
        return ((round(pixelX) - MERCATOR_OFFSET) / MERCATOR_RADIUS) * 180.0 / M_PI;
    }

    private func pixelSpaceYToLatitude(pixelY: Double) -> Double {
        return (M_PI / 2.0 - 2.0 * atan(exp((round(pixelY) - MERCATOR_OFFSET) / MERCATOR_RADIUS))) * 180.0 / M_PI;
    }

    private func coordinateSpan(withMapView mapView: MKMapView, centerCoordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D, zoomLevel: UInt) ->MKCoordinateSpan {
        let centerPixelX = longitudeToPixelSpaceX(centerCoordinate.longitude)
        let centerPixelY = latitudeToPixelSpaceY(centerCoordinate.latitude)

        let zoomExponent = Double(20 - zoomLevel)
        let zoomScale = pow(2.0, zoomExponent)

        let mapSizeInPixels = mapView.bounds.size
        let scaledMapWidth =  Double(mapSizeInPixels.width) * zoomScale
        let scaledMapHeight = Double(mapSizeInPixels.height) * zoomScale

        let topLeftPixelX = centerPixelX - (scaledMapWidth / 2);
        let topLeftPixelY = centerPixelY - (scaledMapHeight / 2);

        //    // find delta between left and right longitudes
        let minLng = pixelSpaceXToLongitude(topLeftPixelX)
        let maxLng = pixelSpaceXToLongitude(topLeftPixelX + scaledMapWidth)
        let longitudeDelta = maxLng - minLng;

        let minLat = pixelSpaceYToLatitude(topLeftPixelY)
        let maxLat = pixelSpaceYToLatitude(topLeftPixelY + scaledMapHeight)
        let latitudeDelta = -1 * (maxLat - minLat);

        let span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(latitudeDelta, longitudeDelta)
        return span
    }

    func zoom(toCenterCoordinate centerCoordinate:CLLocationCoordinate2D ,zoomLevel: UInt) {
        let zoomLevel = min(zoomLevel, 20)
        let span = self.coordinateSpan(withMapView: self, centerCoordinate: centerCoordinate, zoomLevel: zoomLevel)
        let region = MKCoordinateRegionMake(centerCoordinate, span)
        self.setRegion(region, animated: true)

    }
