MKMapView : setRegion doesn't work !

Question

Aaaarg... ok, let's calm myself.

Did someone have any problem with setting the region of a MKMapView ? It never worked with me.

This code :

-(void)setUserCenteredSpan:(MKCoordinateSpan)span{ // for this example, span = {0.5, 0.5}
    // Current region (just initialised)
NSLog(@"%f, %f - %f, %f", self.region.center.latitude,
       self.region.center.longitude, 
       self.region.span.latitudeDelta, 
       self.region.span.longitudeDelta);
    // New Region
MKCoordinateRegion region = MKCoordinateRegionMake([[[self userLocation] location] coordinate],
               span);
NSLog(@"%f, %f - %f, %f", region.center.latitude,
       region.center.longitude, 
       region.span.latitudeDelta, 
       region.span.longitudeDelta);
    // Region saved in MKMapView
[self setRegion:region animated:NO];
NSLog(@"%f, %f - %f, %f", self.region.center.latitude,
         self.region.center.longitude, 
         self.region.span.latitudeDelta, 
         self.region.span.longitudeDelta);
}

Returns that log :

30.145127, -40.078125 - 0.000000, 0.000000
0.000000, 0.000000 - 0.500000, 0.500000
0.000000, 0.000000 - 0.000000, 0.000000

Do you know why ??!

Thanks a lot, you can save me from killing myself X(

Answer 1

Your first log uses self.region.center.latitude, but I don't see that anywhere in your call to MKCoordinateRegionMake. The log is telling you that whatever you are using to make the region to set, has a lat/long of 0/0...

Answer 2

I don't understand exactly the previous logs, but I know where was my error.

The instancied MKMapView was not initialised with a frame, but with an autoresizingMask set to > 0.

When the setRegion method was called, my view was not framed yet. I think the region values are calculated according to the view frame, so these values couldn't be found.

Just set the frame before doing a setRegion, and it would display normally.

Bye !
