How to open maps with latitude and longitude in iOS

If you are here in this post then defiantly you must be looking for the easiest way for opening the Map in iOS. I am going to tell you some simple solution with the complete methodology. Here you will get the very simple code for opening the map programmatically.

At the very first i am telling you that how to point a particular address in map via swift programming language.

func openMapForPlace() {
        let latitude: CLLocationDegrees = 37.2
        let longitude: CLLocationDegrees = 22.9
        
        let regionDistance:CLLocationDistance = 10000
        let coordinates = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(latitude, longitude)
        let regionSpan = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(coordinates, regionDistance, regionDistance)
        let options = [
            MKLaunchOptionsMapCenterKey: NSValue(mkCoordinate: regionSpan.center),
            MKLaunchOptionsMapSpanKey: NSValue(mkCoordinateSpan: regionSpan.span)
        ]
        let placemark = MKPlacemark(coordinate: coordinates, addressDictionary: nil)
        let mapItem = MKMapItem(placemark: placemark)
        mapItem.name = "Place Name"
        mapItem.openInMaps(launchOptions: options)
    }

Before that you also need to import one package in your project view controller which is as…

import MapKit

After doing that, I am sure that you must have another question your mind. Here, I may be wrong. But now I am telling you how you can provide a default path in between source and destination. So let’s have look on that example.

func openMapWithPath() {
        
let source = MKMapItem(placemark: MKPlacemark(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 28.7041, longitude: 77.1025)))
        source.name = "Delhi INDIA"
        let destination = MKMapItem(placemark: MKPlacemark(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 29.9671, longitude: 77.5510)))
        destination.name = "Saharanpur U.P. INDIA"
        MKMapItem.openMaps(with: [source, destination], launchOptions: [MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey: MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving])
}

Good Luck 🙂 Happy Coding
