ios - How to display entire globe in MKMapView

Question

I am working on a map app and I want to enable user to zoom out to entire globe. I am using MKMapView. I saw that this feature is available in iOS map app.

Can anyone tell how can I achieve the same in my app.

Answer 1

Change the map to Hybrid Flyover or Satellite Flyover and Enable 3D View from storyboard

Call this function from viewDidLoad updateMapToShowGlobe(location: mapView.centerCoordinate)

// MARK: Snippet to show full globe in 3d view
private func updateMapToShowGlobe(location :CLLocationCoordinate2D) {
    let span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(130, 130)
    let region = MKCoordinateRegionMake(location, span)
    if( region.center.latitude > -90 && region.center.latitude < 90 && region.center.longitude > -180 && region.center.longitude < 180 ){
        mapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
    }
}
