Returns the distance that one map point spans at the specified latitude.

Declaration

func MKMetersPerMapPointAtLatitude(_ latitude: CLLocationDegrees) -> CLLocationDistance

Parameters

  • latitude:

    The latitude for which to return the value.

Return Value

The distance (in meters) spanned by a single map point.

Discussion

The distance between map points decreases as the latitude approaches the poles. This relationship parallels the relationship between longitudinal coordinates at different latitudes.
