Mappls Pin Strategy in Mappls's Map SDK for iOS

Add Marker Using Mappls Pin​

A marker on Mappls Map can be added using only Mappls Pin. For this it will require an object of MapplsPointAnnotation.

To create object of MapplsPointAnnotation it will require Mappls Mappls Pin(unique code of a Place) in its initializer.

Single Marker​

Swift

let annotation11 = MapplsPointAnnotation(mapplsPin: "7gbcyf")
mapView.addMapplsAnnotation(annotation11, completionHandler: nil)

Multiple Markers​

Swift

var annotations = [MapplsPointAnnotation]()            
let mapplsPins = [ "mmi000", "7gbcyf", "5MEQEL", "k595cm"]
for mapplsPin in mapplsPins {
    let annotation = MapplsPointAnnotation(mapplsPin: mapplsPin)
    annotations.append(annotation)
}
self.mapView.addMapplsAnnotations(annotations, completionHandler: nil)

Set Map Center Using Mappls Pin​

Mappls's Map can be centered to a Place using its Mappls Pin. Different functions are available to achieve this. Below are code snippets to use it.

Swift

mapView.setMapCenterAtMapplsPin("mmi000", animated: false, completionHandler: nil)
mapView.setMapCenterAtMapplsPin("mmi000", zoomLevel: 17, animated: false, completionHandler: nil)
mapView.setMapCenterAtMapplsPin("mmi000", zoomLevel: 17, direction: 0, animated: false, completionHandler: nil)

Set Map View Bounds Using List of Mappls Pin​

Mappls's Map's bounds can be set to fit bounds for a list of Mappls Pins. A method showMapplsPins: is available to achieve this. Below is code snipped to demonstrated its usage

Swift

let mapplsPins = ["mmi000", "7gbcyf", "5MEQEL", "k595cm"]
self.mapView.showMapplsPins(MapplsPins, animated: false, completionHandler: nil)
