# MKCoordinateSpan

The width and height of a map region.

```
struct MKCoordinateSpan
```

## Overview

You use the delta values in this structure to indicate the desired zoom level of the map, with smaller delta values corresponding to a higher zoom level.

## Topics

### Creating a coordinate span

[`init()`](/documentation/MapKit/MKCoordinateSpan/init())

Creates a coordinate span that represents a width and height on a map.

[`init(latitudeDelta:longitudeDelta:)`](/documentation/MapKit/MKCoordinateSpan/init(latitudeDelta:longitudeDelta:))

Creates a new [`MKCoordinateSpan`](/documentation/MapKit/MKCoordinateSpan) from the specified values.

### Getting the span coordinates

[`latitudeDelta`](/documentation/MapKit/MKCoordinateSpan/latitudeDelta)

The amount of north-to-south distance (measured in degrees) to display on the map.

[`longitudeDelta`](/documentation/MapKit/MKCoordinateSpan/longitudeDelta)

The amount of east-to-west distance (measured in degrees) to display for the map region.
