Convert MKCoordinateRegion to MKMapRect

Question

I have a square MKMapView in my app, and I wish to set a center point and the exact height/width of the view in meters.

Creating an MKCoordinateRegion and setting th

I think it should be:

 CLLocationCoordinate2D topLeftCoordinate =
CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(coordinateRegion.center.latitude
                           + (coordinateRegion.span.latitudeDelta/2.0),
                           coordinateRegion.center.longitude
                           - (coordinateRegion.span.longitudeDelta/2.0));

MKMapPoint topLeftMapPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(topLeftCoordinate);

CLLocationCoordinate2D bottomRightCoordinate =
CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(coordinateRegion.center.latitude
                           - (coordinateRegion.span.latitudeDelta/2.0),
                           coordinateRegion.center.longitude
                           + (coordinateRegion.span.longitudeDelta/2.0));

MKMapPoint bottomRightMapPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(bottomRightCoordinate);

MKMapRect mapRect = MKMapRectMake(topLeftMapPoint.x,
                                  topLeftMapPoint.y,
                                  fabs(bottomRightMapPoint.x-topLeftMapPoint.x),
                                  fabs(bottomRightMapPoint.y-topLeftMapPoint.y));

According to apple api reference, MKCoordinateRegion.center represents the center point of the region; and MKCoordinateSpan.latitudeDelta represents the amount of north-to-south distance (measured in degrees) to display on the map; MKCoordinateSpan.longitudeDelta represents amount of east-to-west distance (measured in degrees) to display for the map region.
