Is there way to limit MKMapView maximum zoom level?
You could use the mapView:regionWillChangeAnimated:
delegate method to listen for region change events, and if the region is wider than your maximum region, set it back to the max region with setRegion:animated:
to indicate to your user that they can't zoom out that far. Here's the methods:
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView regionWillChangeAnimated:(BOOL)animated
- (void)setRegion:(MKCoordinateRegion)region animated:(BOOL)animated
If you're working with iOS 7+ only, there's a new camera.altitude
property that you can get/set to enforce a zoom level. Its equivalent to azdev's solution, but no external code is required.
In testing, I also discovered that it was possible to enter an infinite loop if you repeatedly tried to zoom in at detail, so I have a var to prevent that in my code below.
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView regionDidChangeAnimated:(BOOL)animated {
// enforce maximum zoom level
if (_mapView.camera.altitude < 120.00 && !_modifyingMap) {
_modifyingMap = YES; // prevents strange infinite loop case
_mapView.camera.altitude = 120.00;
_modifyingMap = NO;
}
}
