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

This code works with map rotating like 90/180 degrees. set mapView.pitchEnabled = NO; for less bugs.

CLLocationDirection heading = mapView.camera.heading;

float mapWidth = mapView.frame.size.width;
float mapHeight = mapView.frame.size.height;

float neX = mapWidth;
float neY = 0.0;

float swX = 0.0;
float swY = mapHeight;


if (heading >= 0 && heading <= 90) {
    //println("Q1")
    float ratio = heading / 90;

    neX = (1-ratio) * mapWidth;
    swX = (mapWidth*ratio);
} else if (heading >= 90 && heading <= 180) {
    //println("Q2")
    float ratio = (heading - 90) / 90;
    neX = 0;
    neY = (mapHeight*ratio);
    swY = (1-ratio) * mapHeight;
    swX = mapWidth;

} else if (heading >= 180 && heading <= 270) {
    //println("Q3")
    float ratio = (heading - 180) / 90;
    neX = mapWidth*ratio;
    neY = mapHeight;
    swX = (1-ratio) * mapWidth;
    swY = 0;

} else if (heading >= 270 && heading <= 360) {
    //println("Q4");
    float ratio = (heading - 270) / 90;
    neX = mapWidth;
    neY = (1-ratio) * mapHeight;
    swY = ratio * mapHeight;

}

CGPoint swPoint = CGPointMake(swX, swY);
CGPoint nePoint = CGPointMake(neX, neY);

CLLocationCoordinate2D swCoord = [mapView convertPoint:swPoint toCoordinateFromView:mapView];
CLLocationCoordinate2D neCoord = [mapView convertPoint:nePoint toCoordinateFromView:mapView];
