I am developing an iOS app. It can provide turn by turn navigation. With MKDirectionsRequest, code can get navigation routes from device's current location to the destination. CoreLocation updates the device current location coordinates.
How can I check if the device follows the direction routes after the device starts to move?
Any API can change viewing map perspective from top view to street view in MKMapView?
Normal GPS provides this feature when the driver drives to local after off the highway.

I am using Swift 3.1 in my application. I am new to Swift programming.
I have to turn GPS on and off (Location) by button clicking from my app.
If I select GPS on, then the screen should navigate to another view controller.
The system automatically handles this and you as a developer don't have direct access to turning the GPS on/off. When you call any methods of CLLocation requiring the user's location (such as CLLocationManager().requestLocation() or CLLocationManager().startUpdatingLocation()), the system will handle the GPS on its own.
Is there an easy way to make in iOS Google Street View GMSPanormaView's camera follow the device's orientation via data from its motion sensors?
If not, has anyone already done it and can share a code snippet that takes data from CoreMotion, maybe manipulates it to create GMSPanoramaCamera, and passes it to the GMSPanoramaView with animateToCamera:animationDuration:?
Any relevant Android code would also be useful.
Upon checking the Maps SDK for iOS:Internal: Street View, there is no built-in function/implementation for the device orientation/ gyroscope sensor.
According to Ziem's answer you can try implement this by yourself(create function). He also give pointers to study the following:
Set the camera orientation point of view
Animate the camera movements

Using a site they have successfully create a function that will let you browse the Google streetview panoramas with your smartphone/tablet like you were inside it, just by moving your phone like a window to the world.
I would like to create an app, that would show navigation to some marker. It would be best if that navigation could be provided inside an app, however I am not sure if that's possible (at least with MapKit). If my app would launch Apple Maps app for navigation, could my app update destination location? The thing is in most cases my destination should change with time. What are my options?
I done some googling, found that Skobbler a SDK for in app navigation, but it increases app size over 100Mb.
I have done this in an app which takes the coordinates from a plist, maps them and then provides directions from the user location to the map destination point selected. Try this link:

As a part of my ibeacon based ios application i have to find the current location of the user in my indoor map offline, I am using mapbox SDK for displaying my offline indoor map there is any way to calculate the user location with the help of near by beacons.Thanks in advance.
Yes! You can use Radius Networks' NavigationKit framework to do offline indoor navigation. There is a reference app that shows you how to use it with an image-based map, but you can modify it to work with mapbox as well. Best of all, NavigationKit is free to use on deployments of up to 100 mobile devices.
I'm implementing a map in one of my apps, the user's location needs to be read and then the map zoomed to current location and then pins added for businesses surrounding the user.
I've got it working to a point but i'm confused as to how to implement the current location stuff.
I tried adding a MKMapView and setting showsUserLocation = YES which in the simulator will always annoyingly place you at Apple's HQ in CA, no good to me for testing!
So, I thought i'd implement CoreLocation which works brilliantly and in the simulator, uses the network/WiFi mapping to figure out that i'm at home and returns lat/long for my home.
However, so far, I can only represent the current location with a MKPinAnnotationView setting it to a green dot. This animates nicely onto my map but what i'd really like though is to have the blue dot as my current location annotation with the circle around it similar to showsUserLocation.
Is there a way in a delegate protocol for MKMapView to intercept how the showsUserLocation = YES internals work to accomplish this? Or, can I reset the co-ordinates that it thinks are right to display my actual location?
The simulator is displaying the Apple's HQ because it doesn't have a GPS chip available.
I'd recommend to test your code on a device and use showUserLocation = YES in order to show the user's current location.
The hack you are trying to do is not recommended.
