I am currently working on a navigation app. Is there a way to set view angle in MapKit? I know Google Map iOS SDK has it as one of parameter in viewing camera that you could set, but I wasn't able to find it in MapKit.
Also is there a bool value to turn off 3D building? They are kind of annoying for a navigation app.
Thanks in advance!
Add in viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear:
self.mapView.pitchEnabled = YES;
self.mapView.pitchEnabled = NO;
self.mapView.showsBuildings = false
(swift code) Turns off buildings.
Swift 4
mapView.settings.tiltGestures = false
Use pitch to provide viewing angle. For example, mapview.pitch or mapview.camera.pitch depending on whether you are using a camera or not. Also, set showsbuildng to NO.

I want to hide the circular compass icon on MKMapview which appears when a user rotates the map. I have attached a screen shot for reference. I don't want to display the circular compass icon but I do want to allow rotation on the map.
Starting in iOS 9 you can finally hide the compass in MKMapView.
mapView.showsCompass = NO;
If you're not rotating the map programatically and it hasn't already been rotated, disable rotation entirely, using
mapView.rotateEnabled = NO;
The compass only shows up when the map is rotated, so by doing this you ensure that the compass is never triggered.
The current iOS maps does not have the option to turn off the compass.
MapKit Class in the apple documentation also does not carry any information about a compass setting as either a property or creation only setting.
Without restriction on rotation you need to try with the solution given at following url:

You can either try it by setting its layout margin:
By moving a little bit lower:
[self.mapView setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsMake(20, 0, 20, 0)];
or moving it up a little bit higher:
[self.mapView setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsMake(-50, 0, -50, 0)];
Hope this might get you what you need.
How do you remove an arrow from Google Maps geolocation marker (iOS)?
This is an arrow I'm talking about
If you really want to remove that arrow everywhere in your app from Google Maps SDK, it might be easiest to modify asset in GoogleMaps.framework.
Just navigate (cd) to GoogleMaps.framework/Versions/A/Resources/GoogleMaps.bundle/GMSCoreResources.bundle/ and notice the following files:
GMSSprites-0-1x.png
GMSSprites-0-2x.png
GMSSprites-0-3x.png
If you open these files, you can notice the arrow is there. So just edit directly in the asset by replacing arrow by nothing (transparent pixels).
Note: I haven't test it myself and this is not tested solution, but I believe it should work.
Disclaimer: I'm not sure, but I think this modification might violate Terms & Conditions for using the SDK. I don't get any responsibility for such modification, it's your call...
There is no way to do this with current version of the SDK (1.9.1), and actually there is an open issue with this request: Look here.
As a work around, you can hide the default button with:
_map.myLocationEnabled = NO;
Then create a custom GMSMarker
GMSMarker *pointMarker = [GMSMarker markerWithPosition:currentPosition];
pointMarker.icon = [UIImage imageNamed:#"YourImage"];
pointMarker.map = _map;
And change the position of it using a CLLocationManager, so it always show the current position. It's a bit tricky but is the only way, I could think, that you can achieve this. If you need a more complete example let me know.
I'm having problems taking the first few steps with MapBox iOS SDK (1.4.1).
I've started with the suggested code over here: https://www.mapbox.com/mapbox-ios-sdk/examples/
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
self.mapBoxView.tileSource = [[RMMapboxSource alloc] initWithMapID:#"my_map_id" enablingDataOnMapView:_mapBoxView];
self.mapBoxView.userTrackingMode = RMUserTrackingModeNone;
CLLocationCoordinate2D centerLocation;
centerLocation.latitude = NRMapStartLatitude;
centerLocation.longitude = NRMapStartLongitude;
[self.mapBoxView setCenterCoordinate:centerLocation];
[self.mapBoxView setZoom:7 animated:YES];
}
No matter what I do the map starts at a location in Washington D.C. but I've set the center coordinate to be somewhere in Europe.
The same with the zoom. No matter what value I try it has no effect on the map.
There's something with the NSLog output that confuses me. At startup it says:
Using watermarked example map ID examples.map-z2effxa8. Please go to
https://mapbox.com and create your own map style.
I was assuming that this is something that I already did by registering for a free account there and starting with my first project.
Added the tilesource 'My First Map' to the container
Origin is calculated at: 120.786199, -85.000000 Map initialised. tileSource:RMMapboxSource:
Mapbox iOS Example, zooms 0-19, no interactivity, minZoom:2.000000, maxZoom:18.000000,
zoom:18.000000 at {-77.032458,38.913175}
Apparently the sample project in the iOS SDK is loaded and ignoring everything else I try to configure.
So, how do I configure the map so I can interact with the API. What am I missing?
Any kind of help is highly appreciated. Thank you!
OK, whoever is struggling with that. The trick is to set the zoom BEFORE you set the center coordinate..
..for whatever reason.
Trying to disable rotation and tilt on my map view but keep zoom and scrolling.. I have tried the following code but the zoom enabled and scroll enabled cause a error as it says the property is not part of the map view.
self.mapView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
self.mapView.zoomEnabled = YES;
self.mapView.scrollEnabled = YES;
Thanks,
Curtis
I had a few replies to this but managed to solve it myself. There is such a thing called GMSUI Settings which you need to call using the following code..
self.mapView.settings.rotateGestures = NO;
self.mapView.settings.tiltGestures = NO;
Hope this solved things for others
Xcode 14.2
Swift 5.7
whatever your map-view name is would be what you start with. In my case I named it mapView.
mapView.settings.rotateGestures = false
mapView.settings.tiltGestures = false
Unless you specifically need google maps over Apple maps I would recommend using MKMapView
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MapKit/Reference/MKMapView_Class/MKMapView/MKMapView.html
The following properties are defined
zoomEnabled
scrollEnabled
pitchEnabled
rotateEnabled
pitch would be the tilt you were looking for.
I overlay the UIImagePickerController with my design, and i set the showsCameraControls = NO, the zoom bar will not show both in iOS 4 and iOS 5, but the function of zoom will work in iOS 5, I can use two of my fingers to zoom in/out, but I don't want this function, so how can i stop the zoom function? I can not find this API in iOS 5 developer file, so please help me.thanks
I am not sure what you mean by 'zoom'.
Are you looking for -[UIImagePickerController allowsEditing]? Set it to NO, and the image simply is shown. Set to YES, and you can 'zoom' into the image, and import only that area of the image.
