iOS MapKit in Swift

We are going to determine where the user location currently is and set the user annotation to show the user location on the map.

We will allow users to center their map position based on where they are currently located. So if the users move the map view to different region, tapping the user location button will center the map back to current user location.

We are going to show the compass and reposition the compass view to where we want it to be instead of the default top right corner position.

We will learn to apply a different map style for our map view.

We will setup a search view that will allow us to show options for points of interests search as well as a text search.

We will create search service for POI search using MKLocalSearch

We will setup a search service that will allow us to search a particular point of interests and display the search result as a list and as annotations on the map.

We will learn to update the POI search result as the region changes.

We will perform a free text search and taking advantage of search completion and a highlighted search suggestion.

We will learn to create a callout when a map marker is selected and display the address for that particular marker location.

We will learn to create a custom marker annotation based on the points of interest that are being displayed on the map.

We will learn to create a different type of custom marker that helps us identify the type of points of interest currently active.

We will learn cluster annotation to help organizing map markers that are closed to each other.

We will learn to transform the touch coordinate on the map into an address and mark the location on the map with a marker.

We are going to create the view that can slide up or down when users request a direction to their destination.

We will capture the users action on the callout to initiate the directions request to our destination from the current location.

We will learn to render route ribbons on the map based on the directions from the current location to our destination.

We will allow users to pick alternative route if more than one route are displayed on the map view.

We will inspect the route object and display the necessary route advisory notice to allow users pick their best route.

We are going to take advantage of the Apple Maps navigation feature by pushing our source and target destination to Apple Maps to start the navigation.
