MapKit is a really useful API available on iOS devices that makes it easy to display maps, user locations with locality, and even draw routes your location to your destination.
Getting Started User Location
Create a new project single view appplication in Swift. - MKLocationMap
Open Info.plist from the Project navigator and configure the location permission prompt message NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
Add "NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription" instead of "Privacy - Location Always and When in use usage description".
ViewController.swift:
import UIKit
import MapKit
protocol HandleMapSearch {
func dropPinZoomIn(placemark:MKPlacemark)
}
class ViewController: UIViewController{
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var resultSearchController:UISearchController!
var selectedPin:MKPlacemark?
@IBOutlet var mapView: MKMapView!
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.requestLocation()
let locationSearchTable = storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "LocationSearchTable") as! LocationSearchTable
locationSearchTable.mapView = mapView
resultSearchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: locationSearchTable)
resultSearchController?.searchResultsUpdater = locationSearchTable
locationSearchTable.handleMapSearchDelegate = self
let searchBar = resultSearchController!.searchBar
searchBar.sizeToFit()
searchBar.placeholder = "Search for places"
navigationItem.titleView = resultSearchController?.searchBar
resultSearchController?.hidesNavigationBarDuringPresentation = false
resultSearchController?.dimsBackgroundDuringPresentation = true
definesPresentationContext = true
locationSearchTable.mapView = mapView
locationSearchTable.handleMapSearchDelegate = self
}
@objc func getDirections(){
guard let selectedPin = selectedPin else {
return
}
let mapItem = MKMapItem(placemark: selectedPin)
let launchOptions = [MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey: MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving]
mapItem.openInMaps(launchOptions: launchOptions)
print ("GET DIRECTION")
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
extension ViewController : CLLocationManagerDelegate {
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {
print("error:: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) {
if status == .authorizedWhenInUse {
locationManager.requestLocation()
}
}
func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {
if let location = locations.first {
let span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.05, 0.05)
let region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: location.coordinate, span: span)
mapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
}
}
}
extension ViewController: HandleMapSearch {
func dropPinZoomIn(placemark:MKPlacemark){
// cache the pin
selectedPin = placemark
// clear existing pins
mapView.removeAnnotations(mapView.annotations)
let annotation = MKPointAnnotation()
annotation.coordinate = placemark.coordinate
annotation.title = placemark.name
if let city = placemark.locality,
let state = placemark.administrativeArea {
annotation.subtitle = "\(city) \(state)"
}
mapView.addAnnotation(annotation)
let span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.05, 0.05)
let region = MKCoordinateRegionMake(placemark.coordinate, span)
mapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
}
}
In the Project Navigator, open Assets.xcassets and create a add image icon like used car.png files of various sizes (30×30, 60×60, and 90×90) to fill up the 1x, 2x, and 3x
extension ViewController : MKMapViewDelegate {
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView?{
if annotation is MKUserLocation {
//return nil so map view draws "blue dot" for standard user location
return nil
}
let reuseId = "pin"
var pinView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: reuseId) as? MKPinAnnotationView
if pinView == nil {
pinView = MKPinAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: reuseId)
}
pinView?.pinTintColor = UIColor.orange
pinView?.canShowCallout = true
let smallSquare = CGSize(width: 30, height: 30)
let button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: smallSquare))
button.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "car"), for: .normal)
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.getDirections), for: .touchUpInside)
pinView?.leftCalloutAccessoryView = button
return pinView
}
}
LocationSearchTable.swift:
import UIKit
import MapKit
class LocationSearchTable: UITableViewController{
var matchingItems:[MKMapItem] = []
var mapView: MKMapView?
var handleMapSearchDelegate: HandleMapSearch?
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
func parseAddress(selectedItem:MKPlacemark) -> String {
// put a space between "4" and "Melrose Place"
let firstSpace = (selectedItem.subThoroughfare != nil && selectedItem.thoroughfare != nil) ? " " : ""
// put a comma between street and city/state
let comma = (selectedItem.subThoroughfare != nil || selectedItem.thoroughfare != nil) && (selectedItem.subAdministrativeArea != nil || selectedItem.administrativeArea != nil) ? ", " : ""
// put a space between "Washington" and "DC"
let secondSpace = (selectedItem.subAdministrativeArea != nil && selectedItem.administrativeArea != nil) ? " " : ""
let addressLine = String(
format:"%@%@%@%@%@%@%@",
// street number
selectedItem.subThoroughfare ?? "",
firstSpace,
// street name
selectedItem.thoroughfare ?? "",
comma,
// city
selectedItem.locality ?? "",
secondSpace,
// state
selectedItem.administrativeArea ?? ""
)
return addressLine
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
extension LocationSearchTable : UISearchResultsUpdating {
func updateSearchResults(for searchController: UISearchController) {
guard let mapView = mapView,
let searchBarText = searchController.searchBar.text else { return }
let request = MKLocalSearchRequest()
request.naturalLanguageQuery = searchBarText
request.region = mapView.region
let search = MKLocalSearch(request: request)
search.start { response, _ in
guard let response = response else {
return
}
self.matchingItems = response.mapItems
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
}
extension LocationSearchTable {
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return matchingItems.count
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell")!
let selectedItem = matchingItems[indexPath.row].placemark
cell.textLabel?.text = selectedItem.name
cell.detailTextLabel?.text = parseAddress(selectedItem: selectedItem)
return cell
}
}
extension LocationSearchTable {
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let selectedItem = matchingItems[indexPath.row].placemark
handleMapSearchDelegate?.dropPinZoomIn(placemark: selectedItem)
dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
I do trust all of the concepts you’ve presented on your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too brief for newbies. May you please extend them a little from subsequent time?Also, I’ve shared your website in my social networks.

Great post
ReplyDeleteYou just copied someone else's tutorial and added directions to it, you should at least give him some credit.
ReplyDeleteAlso the location autocomplete function here works, but there are newer functions that give more precise results.
