[GIS] How to determine when mapview zoom level has changed using Mapbox-iOS-SDK

geolocationiosmapbox

I am using Mapbox-iOS-SDK 2.1.2 and I need to know when the user changes zoom level on the map view. I know how to get the current zoom level, but I don't see any delegate methods for determining when the zoom level actually changed.

My reason is I am trying to mimic the scale dependencies functionality found in ESRI, and I only want to display annotations for records in the local data store when the zoom level is 15+.

Does anyone know if Mapbox supports notification when the zoom level has changed?

Or, does Mapbox support scale dependencies? If it does and I'm missing it, please let me know as that would save me from rolling my own version.

You can check if zoomLevel was changed in delegate mapView:regionDidChangeAnimated:

(void)mapView:(MGLMapView *)mapView regionDidChangeAnimated:(BOOL)animated

Mapbox GL JS – How to Determine When FlyTo Has Arrived

You can achieve this by combining a few map event listeners and a variable as follows.

To prevent a tooltip when the user has moved or zoomed the map by mouse or keyboard you will need a variable that determines wheter your user clicked the "fly" button or not:

map.on('flystart', function(){
    flying = true;
});
map.on('flyend', function(){
    flying = false;
});

Then this code will execute once your map has stopped moving and zooming:

map.on('moveend', function(e){
   if(flying){
      // tooltip or overlay here
      map.fire(flyend); 
   }
});

[GIS] Load mbtiles by Mapbox iOS & Android SDK

MBTiles can be displayed in the Mapbox Maps iOS SDK by hosting a web server within your app and pointing the map to localhost. I've posted my solution here:

I'm sure this same sort of thing could be done on Android as well.
