I know its a very common issue but I am not getting the exact answer for this thing.
How to make MKMapView defaults to a zoom of a 5 mile radius of current location.
Thanks in advance.

Use the following code when ever you want to zoom to 5 miles radius:
double miles = 5.0;
double scalingFactor = ABS( (cos(2 * M_PI * newLocation.coordinate.latitude / 360.0) ));
MKCoordinateSpan span;
span.latitudeDelta = miles/69.0;
span.longitudeDelta = miles/(scalingFactor * 69.0);
MKCoordinateRegion region;
region.span = span;
region.center = newLocation.coordinate;
[mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];
Use the MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance
function from MapKit.
Use a conversion function to convert miles to meters since MapKit uses meters.
float MilesToMeters(float miles) {
// 1 mile is 1609.344 meters
// source: http://www.google.com/search?q=1+mile+in+meters
return 1609.344f * miles;
}
Then in your code set the map region as (thanks to @DylanBettermann for pointing out that to get a radius of 5 miles, the distance needs to be doubled)
mapView.region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(
centerCoordinate,
MilesToMeters(10.0f),
MilesToMeters(10.0f)
);
swift 4 version :
mapView.region = MKCoordinateRegion(
center: centerCoordinate,
latitudinalMeters: MilesToMeters(10.0f),
longitudinalMeters: MilesToMeters(10.0f)
)
[self.theMapView setRegion:MKCoordinateRegionMake(
[theConsumer.latLong.clLocation coordinate],
MKCoordinateSpanMake( MAP_SPAN, MAP_SPAN ))
animated:YES];
The parameters to MKCoordinateSpanMake
are in degrees, and 1 degree is approx 69 miles at the equator. Thus MAP_SPAN would be 5.0/69.0
