Search Along Route

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

In this guide you will learn how to search for points of interest (POIs) along a computed route on an interactive map. The search can be carried out during real or simulated navigation along the route. The map is fully 3D, supporting pan, pinch-zoom, rotate and tilt.

Setup

  1. Get your Magic Lane API key token: if you do not have a token, see the Getting Started guide.
  2. See the Setup Maps SDK for iOS guide.
  3. Download the SearchAlongRoute project example or clone the project with Git.
  4. Extract/unpack the MapView project archive to a folder/directory of your choice. You can create a new directory where to unpack it.

Open the Project

Studio

Start Xcode, and in the welcome dialog, choose Open an existing project.

Studio

If Xcode is already started, go to the File menu and choose Open.

Studio

Select the MapView.xcodeproj file and click Open.

Verify that Maps SDK for iOS is configured in Xcode, see the Setup Maps SDK for iOS guide.

Set the API key token

Studio

In any of the Maps SDK for iOS example projects, click the AppDelegate.swift file and scroll down to the getProjectApiToken() function, and replace YOUR_TOKEN with your actual Magic Lane API Key token, see the Getting Started guide.

The project is now ready to build and run!

Run the example

Studio

Either connect a device via USB cable, or select a virtual device.

Studio

Run the SearchAlongRoute example. You can pan and zoom the map. On the device you can also rotate and tilt.

Click the blue route icon at the top right to compute a route and fly to it, so it is centered in the viewport.

Click the blue triangle play button to start simulated navigation along the route.

Click the blue magnifying glass search button at the top left to search along the route.

Studio

POI (point of interest) search results near the current location along the route are displayed in the debug output window.

iOS Examples

Maps SDK for iOS Examples can be downloaded or cloned with Git.
