this website solve the problem. http://www.softwarepassion.com/how-to-get-geographic-coordinates-of-the-visible-mkmapview-area-in-ios/

MKMapRect mRect = self.mapView.visibleMapRect;

-(CLLocationCoordinate2D)getNECoordinate:(MKMapRect)mRect{
    return [self getCoordinateFromMapRectanglePoint:MKMapRectGetMaxX(mRect) y:mRect.origin.y];
}
-(CLLocationCoordinate2D)getNWCoordinate:(MKMapRect)mRect{
    return [self getCoordinateFromMapRectanglePoint:MKMapRectGetMinX(mRect) y:mRect.origin.y];
}
-(CLLocationCoordinate2D)getSECoordinate:(MKMapRect)mRect{
    return [self getCoordinateFromMapRectanglePoint:MKMapRectGetMaxX(mRect) y:MKMapRectGetMaxY(mRect)];
}
-(CLLocationCoordinate2D)getSWCoordinate:(MKMapRect)mRect{
    return [self getCoordinateFromMapRectanglePoint:mRect.origin.x y:MKMapRectGetMaxY(mRect)];
}

-(CLLocationCoordinate2D)getCoordinateFromMapRectanglePoint:(double)x y:(double)y{
    MKMapPoint swMapPoint = MKMapPointMake(x, y);
    return MKCoordinateForMapPoint(swMapPoint);
}

-(NSArray *)getBoundingBox:(MKMapRect)mRect{
    CLLocationCoordinate2D bottomLeft = [self getSWCoordinate:mRect];
    CLLocationCoordinate2D topRight = [self getNECoordinate:mRect];
    return @[[NSNumber numberWithDouble:bottomLeft.latitude ],
             [NSNumber numberWithDouble:bottomLeft.longitude],
             [NSNumber numberWithDouble:topRight.latitude],
             [NSNumber numberWithDouble:topRight.longitude]];
}
