I am using MKMapView and have added a number of annotation pins to the map about a 5-10 kilometre area. When I run the application my map starts zoomed out to show the whole world, what is the best way to zoom the map so the pins fit the view?
EDIT:
My initial thinking would be to use MKCoordinateRegionMake and calculate the coordinate centre, longitudeDelta and latitudeDelta from my annotations. I am pretty sure this will work, but I just wanted to check I was not missing anything obvious.
Code added, BTW: FGLocation is an class that conforms to MKAnnotation
, locationFake is an NSMutableArray
of these objects. Comments are always welcome ….
- (MKCoordinateRegion)regionFromLocations {
CLLocationCoordinate2D upper = [[locationFake objectAtIndex:0] coordinate];
CLLocationCoordinate2D lower = [[locationFake objectAtIndex:0] coordinate];
// FIND LIMITS
for(FGLocation *eachLocation in locationFake) {
if([eachLocation coordinate].latitude > upper.latitude) upper.latitude = [eachLocation coordinate].latitude;
if([eachLocation coordinate].latitude < lower.latitude) lower.latitude = [eachLocation coordinate].latitude;
if([eachLocation coordinate].longitude > upper.longitude) upper.longitude = [eachLocation coordinate].longitude;
if([eachLocation coordinate].longitude < lower.longitude) lower.longitude = [eachLocation coordinate].longitude;
}
// FIND REGION
MKCoordinateSpan locationSpan;
locationSpan.latitudeDelta = upper.latitude - lower.latitude;
locationSpan.longitudeDelta = upper.longitude - lower.longitude;
CLLocationCoordinate2D locationCenter;
locationCenter.latitude = (upper.latitude + lower.latitude) / 2;
locationCenter.longitude = (upper.longitude + lower.longitude) / 2;
MKCoordinateRegion region = MKCoordinateRegionMake(locationCenter, locationSpan);
return region;
}

This is the one I found here that worked for me:
(EDIT: I have updated the solution using @Micah's suggestion to increase the pointRect by 0.1 to ensure the rect doesn't end up being infinitesimally small!)
You could also update this to include the userLocation pin by replacing the first line with:
