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;
}
