Setting the zoom level for a MKMapView

Question

I have a map which shows correctly  the only thing I want to do now is set the zoom level when it loads  Is there a way to do this   Thanks

You can also zoom by using MKCoordinateRegion and setting its span latitude & longitude delta. Below is a quick reference and here is the iOS reference. It won't do anything fancy but should allow you to set zoom when it draws the map.

MKCoordinateRegion region;
region.center.latitude = {desired lat};
region.center.longitude = {desired lng};
region.span.latitudeDelta = 1;
region.span.longitudeDelta = 1;
mapView.region = region;

Edit 1:

MKCoordinateRegion region;
region.center.latitude = {desired lat};
region.center.longitude = {desired lng};
region.span.latitudeDelta = 1;
region.span.longitudeDelta = 1;
region = [mapView regionThatFits:region];
[mapView setRegion:region animated:TRUE];

It s not built in  but I ve seen   used this code   This allows you to use this    mapView setCenterCoordinate myCoord zoomLevel 13 animated YES     Note  This is not my code  I did not write it  so therefore can t take credit for it

Based on quentinadam s answer  Swift 5 1     size refers to the width height of your tile images  by default is 256 0    Seems to get better results using round      frame width is the width of the MKMapView  let zoom   round log2 360   Double frame width    size   region span longitudeDelta

I know this is a late reply  but I ve just wanted to address the issue of setting the zoom level myself  goldmine s answer is great but I found it not working sufficiently well in my application   On closer inspection goldmine states that  longitude lines are spaced apart equally at any point of the map   This is not true  it is in fact latitude lines that are spaced equally from -90  south pole  to  90  north pole   Longitude lines are spaced at their widest at the equator  converging to a point at the poles   The implementation I have adopted is therefore to use the latitude calculation as follows    implementation MKMapView  ZoomLevel   -  void setCenterCoordinate  CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate     zoomLevel  NSUInteger zoom animated  BOOL animated       MKCoordinateSpan span   MKCoordinateSpanMake 180   pow 2  zoom             self frame size height   256  0        self setRegion MKCoordinateRegionMake coordinate  span  animated animated       end   Hope it helps at this late stage

I hope following code fragment would help you   -  void handleZoomOutAction  id sender       MKCoordinateRegion newRegion MKCoordinateRegionMake mapView region center MKCoordinateSpanMake mapView region s       pan latitudeDelta 0 5  mapView region span longitudeDelta 0 5         mapView setRegion newRegion       -  void handleZoomInAction  id sender       MKCoordinateRegion newRegion MKCoordinateRegionMake mapView region center MKCoordinateSpanMake mapView region span latitudeDelta 0 5  mapView region span longitudeDelta 0 5         mapView setRegion newRegion       You can choose any value in stead of 0 5 to reduce or increase zoom level  I have used these methods on click of two buttons

Based on the fact that longitude lines are spaced apart equally at any point of the map  there is a very simple implementation to set the centerCoordinate and zoomLevel    interface MKMapView  ZoomLevel    property  assign  nonatomic  NSUInteger zoomLevel   -  void setCenterCoordinate  CLLocationCoordinate2D centerCoordinate                   zoomLevel  NSUInteger zoomLevel                    animated  BOOL animated    end    implementation MKMapView  ZoomLevel   -  void setZoomLevel  NSUInteger zoomLevel        self setCenterCoordinate self centerCoordinate zoomLevel zoomLevel animated NO      -  NSUInteger zoomLevel       return log2 360     self frame size width 256    self region span longitudeDelta     1     -  void setCenterCoordinate  CLLocationCoordinate2D centerCoordinate zoomLevel  NSUInteger zoomLevel animated  BOOL animated       MKCoordinateSpan span   MKCoordinateSpanMake 0  360 pow 2  zoomLevel  self frame size width 256        self setRegion MKCoordinateRegionMake centerCoordinate  span  animated animated       end

For Swift 3 it s pretty fast forward   private func setMapRegion for location  CLLocationCoordinate2D  animated  Bool        let viewRegion   MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance location   lt  T  latitudinalMeters  CLLocationDistance  CLLocationDistance  gt    lt  T  longitudinalMeters  CLLocationDistance  CLLocationDistance  gt       MapView setRegion viewRegion  animated  animated      Just define the lat-  long-Meters  lt CLLocationDistance gt  and the mapView will fit the zoom level to your values

I found myself a solution  which is very simple and does the trick  Use MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance in order to set the distance in meters vertically and horizontally to get the desired zoom  And then of course when you update your location you ll get the right coordinates  or you can specify it directly in the CLLocationCoordinate2D at startup  if that s what you need to do   CLLocationCoordinate2D noLocation  MKCoordinateRegion viewRegion   MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance noLocation  500  500   MKCoordinateRegion adjustedRegion    self mapView regionThatFits viewRegion              self mapView setRegion adjustedRegion animated YES   self mapView showsUserLocation   YES    Swift   let location       let region   MKCoordinateRegion  center  location coordinate  latitudinalMeters  CLLocationDistance exactly  5000    longitudinalMeters  CLLocationDistance exactly  5000    mapView setRegion mapView regionThatFits region   animated  true
