Custom map in Swift - ios

Question

I am currently developing an iOS application using location.
But I want to have a customized map to show user's location, not the default map given by MapKit.
A map like this for example :
Is it possible to achieve something like this in Swift 4.0 ?
Thanks a lot

Answer 1

You need to use MKTileOverlay - documentation is here...
As it says:
You use tile overlay objects to represent your own tile-based content
and to coordinate the display of that content in a map view. Your
tiles can supplement the underlying map content or replace it
completely.
(my emphasis)

This is how you can make a map show your live current location.
Full code:
import UIKit
import MapKit
//import CoreLocation
class ViewController: UIViewController, UIScrollViewDelegate ,CLLocationManagerDelegate, MKMapViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet var map: MKMapView!
var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
locationManager.delegate = self
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
let userLocation: CLLocation = locations[0]
let latitude = userLocation.coordinate.latitude
let longitude = userLocation.coordinate.longitude
let latDelta: CLLocationDegrees = 0.05
let lonDelta: CLLocationDegrees = 0.05
let span = MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: latDelta, longitudeDelta: lonDelta)
let location = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude)
let region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: location, span: span)
self.map.setRegion(region, animated: false)
let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
annotation.coordinate = location
annotation.title = "My current Location"
map.addAnnotation(annotation)
}
}
Note that you also have to add the permissions to the info.plist file
the permissions are:
Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description
Privacy - Location Always Usage Description

Here is how you can give fixed location and a pin in a map view
import UIKit
import MapKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var myMap: MKMapView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let latitude : CLLocationDegrees = 86.44999
let longitude : CLLocationDegrees = 54.39
let latitudeDelta : CLLocationAccuracy = 0.05
let longituteDelta : CLLocationAccuracy = 0.05
let myLocation = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude)
let mySpan = MKCoordinateSpanMake(latitudeDelta, longituteDelta)
let myRegion = MKCoordinateRegion(center: myLocation, span: mySpan)
myMap.setRegion(myRegion, animated: true)
let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
annotation.coordinate = myLocation
myMap.addAnnotation(annotation)
}
}
