mapType

The type of data the map view displays.

Declaration

var mapType: MKMapType { get set }

Discussion

Changing the value in this property may cause the receiver to begin loading new map content. For example, changing from MKMapType.standard to MKMapType.satellite might cause it to begin loading the satellite imagery for the map. If the map needs new data, however, it loads asynchronously and MapKit sends appropriate messages to the receiver’s delegate indicating the status of the operation.
