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:         


        

Answer 1

Swift 3.0

In the MapKit Function didUpdateLocations:

func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
            guard let location = locations.last as CLLocation? else { return }

            let userCenter = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: location.coordinate.latitude, longitude: location.coordinate.longitude)
            // Does not have to be userCenter, could replace latitude: and longitude: with any value you would like to center in on

            let region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: userCenter, span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 180, longitudeDelta: 180))

            mkView.setRegion(region, animated: true)

    }

Note: If you do not want to keep setting the center every time there is a location update, then do the following:

        let userCenter = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: location.coordinate.latitude, longitude: location.coordinate.longitude)
        // Does not have to be userCenter, could replace latitude: and longitude: with any value you would like to center in on

        let region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: userCenter, span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 180, longitudeDelta: 180))

        mkView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
