How to open maps App programmatically with coordinates in swift?

I have latitude and longitude that I want to open into my map application. I tried this code from HERE.

    func goToMap(){

    var lat1 : NSString = self.v         


        

Answer 1

This works as a charm for me

let coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(theLatitude, theLongitude)
let region = MKCoordinateRegionMake(coordinate, MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.01, 0.02))
let placemark = MKPlacemark(coordinate: coordinate, addressDictionary: nil)
let mapItem = MKMapItem(placemark: placemark)
let options = [
    MKLaunchOptionsMapCenterKey: NSValue(mkCoordinate: region.center),
    MKLaunchOptionsMapSpanKey: NSValue(mkCoordinateSpan: region.span)]
mapItem.name = theLocationName
mapItem.openInMaps(launchOptions: options)
