Inherits from UIView
Declared in RMMapView.h

Overview

An RMMapView object provides an embeddable map interface, similar to the one provided by Apple’s MapKit. You use this class to display map information and to manipulate the map contents from your application. You can center the map on a given coordinate, specify the size of the area you want to display, and annotate the map with custom information.

Warning: Please note that you are responsible for getting permission to use the map data, and for ensuring your use adheres to the relevant terms of use.

adjustTilesForRetinaDisplay

A Boolean value that adjusts the display of map tile images for retina-capable screens.

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL adjustTilesForRetinaDisplay

Discussion

A Boolean value that adjusts the display of map tile images for retina-capable screens.

If set to YES, the map tiles are drawn at double size, typically 512 pixels square instead of 256 pixels, in order to compensate for smaller features and to make them more legible. If tiles designed for retina devices are used, this value should be set to NO in order to display these tiles at the proper size. The default value is NO.

bouncingEnabled

A Boolean value that determines whether the map view bounces past the edge of content and back again and whether it animates the content scaling when the scaling exceeds the maximum or minimum limits.

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL bouncingEnabled

Discussion

A Boolean value that determines whether the map view bounces past the edge of content and back again and whether it animates the content scaling when the scaling exceeds the maximum or minimum limits.

If the value of this property is YES, the map view bounces when it encounters a boundary of the content or when zooming exceeds either the maximum or minimum limits for scaling. Bouncing visually indicates that scrolling or zooming has reached an edge of the content. If the value is NO, scrolling and zooming stop immediately at the content boundary without bouncing.

The default value is NO.

showsUserLocation

A Boolean value indicating whether the map may display the user location.

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL showsUserLocation

Discussion

A Boolean value indicating whether the map may display the user location.

This property does not indicate whether the user’s position is actually visible on the map, only whether the map view is allowed to display it. To determine whether the user’s position is visible, use the userLocationVisible property. The default value of this property is NO.

Setting this property to YES causes the map view to use the Core Location framework to find the current location. As long as this property is YES, the map view continues to track the user’s location and update it periodically.

On iOS 8 and above, your app must specify a value for NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in its Info.plist to satisfy the requirements of the underlying Core Location framework when enabling this property.
