Swift- Mkmapkit View Only One City

Swift- MKMapkit view only one city?

I translated the Obj-C code found here: https://gist.github.com/Alp-Phone/e11cca67e77285566d4d to Swift Link is dead.

lazy var restrictedRegion: MKCoordinateRegion = {
    // sets maps to univeristy
    let location = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(42.9633, -85.890042)
    // Span and region
    let span = MKCoordinateSpanMake (0.005, 0.005)
    return MKCoordinateRegion(center: location, span: span)
}()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    mapView.setRegion(restrictedRegion, animated: true)
}

var manuallyChangingMap = false //Stop from updating while animating
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, regionDidChangeAnimated animated: Bool) {
    if !manuallyChangingMap && ((mapView.region.span.latitudeDelta > restrictedRegion.span.latitudeDelta * 4) ||
            (mapView.region.span.longitudeDelta > restrictedRegion.span.longitudeDelta * 4) ||
            fabs(mapView.region.center.latitude - restrictedRegion.center.latitude) > restrictedRegion.span.latitudeDelta ||
            fabs(mapView.region.center.longitude - restrictedRegion.center.longitude) > restrictedRegion.span.longitudeDelta) {

        manuallyChangingMap = true
        mapView.setRegion(restrictedRegion, animated: true)
        manuallyChangingMap = false
    }
}

iOS - How to limit the MapView to a specific region?

By implementing :

-(void) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView regionWillChangeAnimated:(BOOL)animated

You should be able to reset region to your specific one.

Look at that answer to have an example of how to do this.

Another solution, that brings more precise events but is more complex (I'm currently using this successfully for another need) is to subclass MKMapView and override UIScrollViewDelegate protocol.

If you do that, make sure to call super implementation like that :

- (void)scrollViewWillBeginDragging:(UIScrollView *)scrollView {
  if ([super respondsToSelector:@selector(scrollViewWillBeginDragging:)])
    [super scrollViewWillBeginDragging:scrollView];
  // do what you want
}

Note: While the protocol is public, MKMapView implementation is unknown and might differ with iOS versions, so it is more safe to check with respondsToSelector: before. You must call super implementations or Map will just not work properly.

Set mapkit to location with only a cityname

You'd use forward geocoding with CLGeocoder using the geocodeAddressString method. More info at:
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/CoreLocation/Reference/CLGeocoder_class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/CLGeocoder/geocodeAddressString:completionHandler:

Or you could hit Google Maps services as well.

How to display a MKMapView without street names?

What you need to do, is to set the maptype to Satellite.

Here's how to do this:

[mapView setMapType:MKMapTypeSatellite];

EDIT:
Not sure if it's satellite, but try one of these:

[mapView setMapType:MKMapTypeStandard];
[mapView setMapType:MKMapTypeHybrid];
[mapView setMapType:MKMapTypeSatellite];
