Display a simple map view
This example demonstrates how to create a basic map using the MapboxMaps class from the Mapbox Maps SDK for iOS. The BasicMapExample class inherits from UIViewController and conforms to the ExampleProtocol.
In the viewDidLoad method, a CameraOptions object is created with specified center coordinates, zoom level, bearing, and pitch. These options are used to initialize MapInitOptions which are then used to create the MapboxMaps instance with the given camera options. The map view is added as a subview to the current view, with a visible scale bar ornament. Finally, in the viewDidAppear method, a finishing function is called for internal testing purposes.
This example code is part of the Maps SDK for iOS Examples App, a working iOS project available on Github. iOS developers are encouraged to run the examples app locally to interact with this example in an emulator and explore other features of the Maps SDK.
See our Run the Maps SDK for iOS Examples App tutorial for step-by-step instructions.
import UIKit
import MapboxMaps
final class ViewController: UIViewController {
private var mapView: MapView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let cameraOptions = CameraOptions(
center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 41.879, longitude: -87.635),
zoom: 16,
bearing: 12,
pitch: 60)
let options = MapInitOptions(cameraOptions: cameraOptions)
mapView = MapView(frame: view.bounds, mapInitOptions: options)
mapView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
mapView.ornaments.options.scaleBar.visibility = .visible
view.addSubview(mapView)
}
