Apple Maps Guides

See Steps for Adding an Overlay to the Map in the guide OOPer mentioned. You already have finished steps 1 and 4.For steps 2 and 3, you need to implement the mapView(_:rendererFor:) delegate method and return a MKCircleRenderer. The renderer allows you to set the fill color, stroke color, etc.

I suppose you could do this with a focus guide, but it would not map well to the way a user expects the focus engine to work. It is best to only move focus in the direction requested by the user, otherwise it becomes very unpredictable and confusing.Please see the tvOS HIG section on Focus and Selection for some additional information.

Thanks for the suggestion but my app is primarily an Apple Watch app and unfortunately Apple Maps is very limited on Apple Watch. It only provides a static map image, whereas I need a fully interactive vector map, similar to the Apple Maps app, but integrated into my watch app. Also my app is intended for use when hiking, mountain biking etc and Apple Maps is very poor when it comes to paths and trails. In a lot of hiking situations Apple Maps would not be showing much anyway, so my empty vector map is probably a better fallback because it at least shows the breadcrumb trail and users can load and see GPX routes to follow.Thanks though - in most situations Apple Maps would be a reasonable fallback, but probably not in this case.

Let's look at this... Apple Maps shows a certain view. When using MKMapView, your app shows the same view. That seems entirely consistent. Google Maps shows a different view. Okay. Google Maps is an entirely different system, nothing to do with Apple Maps, or MKMapView. If you want to use Google Maps data in your app, you can do that (but not in MKMapView... they use a GMSMapView). Another app shows a different view. You think it is using Apple Maps (you spotted an Apple logo). You think it is using MKMapView (how would you know that?). Who knows what it is doing, or using? You would have to ask the app developer. Your app is consistent with Apple Maps. When your local Apple Maps data is updated, your MKMapView will reflect that.

I've appended the code for GameController.swift below. To actually reproduce the bug, you need an image file Card Back.png in the project. It has a resolution of 672x1038 pixels.Create a new iOS Swift Single View Application project.Add Game Controller.swift and Card Back.png to it.In IB, change the view controller class to GameController.Drag a second view controller into the story board and change its class to GameController, too.Create a seque from the first to the second scene. (I added a Tap Gesture Recognizer to the first scene and created a Present Modally seque to the second scene; a Push/Show seque will give the same result.)Run the app on the iPhone simulator. You will see a 5x6 grid of copies of the Card Back image.Tap anywhere on the view to present the second scene.You will see part of one really big card back image.If you do Debug > View Debugging > Capture View Hierarchy and click Show Clipped Content, you will see that there is actually a grid of 672x1038 image views, which obviously doe
