To show a pin map using MapKit, you can utilize the Place ID feature to reference specific locations and display them on a map. Here's a brief overview of how you can achieve this:
-
Reference a Place: Use the Place ID to identify the location you want to display. You can find a Place ID using the new place ID lookup tool available on the Apple developer website. This tool allows you to search for a place and retrieve its ID, which can then be used in your app or website.
-
Display Place Details: Once you have the Place ID, you can display detailed information about the place using place cards. These cards can show information such as opening hours, phone numbers, and more. You can choose different presentation styles for the place cards, such as a full presentation, a compact view, or a simple link to view the place in the Maps app.
-
Embed Maps: For websites, you can use the MapKit JS to create an embedded map. This involves generating an HTML snippet that you can copy and paste into your website, allowing you to display a map with the specified Place ID without writing extensive JavaScript code.
For more detailed instructions, you can refer to the session "Unlock the power of places with MapKit" from WWDC 2024. You can find specific information on displaying place details starting at the Display place details chapter marker.
