Getting the bounds of an MKMapView

Question

In order to setup a query to an external server I want to get the bounds of the current Map View in an iPhone app I\'m building. UIView should respond to bounds but it seems

Answer 1

I was able to get this to work with the Parse GeoBox query:

//Calculate the corners of the map to get the points
CGPoint nePoint = CGPointMake(self.mapView.bounds.origin.x + self.mapView.bounds.size.width, self.mapView.bounds.origin.y);
CGPoint swPoint = CGPointMake((self.mapView.bounds.origin.x),(self.mapView.bounds.origin.y+ self.mapView.bounds.size.height));

//Transform points into lat/long values
CLLocationCoordinate2D NECoordinate = [self.mapView convertPoint:nePoint toCoordinateFromView:self.mapView];
CLLocationCoordinate2D SWCoordinate = [self.mapView convertPoint:swPoint toCoordinateFromView:self.mapView];

//Convert to Parse GeoPoints
PFGeoPoint *Southwest = [PFGeoPoint geoPointWithLatitude:SWCoordinate.latitude longitude:SWCoordinate.longitude];
PFGeoPoint *Northeast = [PFGeoPoint geoPointWithLatitude:NECoordinate.latitude longitude:NECoordinate.longitude];
