Getting the bounds of an MKMapView

by

Okay I officially answered my own question but since I didn’t find it anywhere before I’ll post the answer here:

//To calculate the search bounds...
//First we need to calculate the corners of the map so we get the points
CGPoint nePoint = CGPointMake(self.mapView.bounds.origin.x + mapView.bounds.size.width, mapView.bounds.origin.y);
CGPoint swPoint = CGPointMake((self.mapView.bounds.origin.x), (mapView.bounds.origin.y + mapView.bounds.size.height));

//Then transform those point into lat,lng values
CLLocationCoordinate2D neCoord;
neCoord = [mapView convertPoint:nePoint toCoordinateFromView:mapView];

CLLocationCoordinate2D swCoord;
swCoord = [mapView convertPoint:swPoint toCoordinateFromView:mapView];

SWIFT 5

public extension MKMapView {

  var newBounds: MapBounds {
    let originPoint = CGPoint(x: bounds.origin.x + bounds.size.width, y: bounds.origin.y)
    let rightBottomPoint = CGPoint(x: bounds.origin.x, y: bounds.origin.y + bounds.size.height)

    let originCoordinates = convert(originPoint, toCoordinateFrom: self)
    let rightBottomCoordinates = convert(rightBottomPoint, toCoordinateFrom: self)

    return MapBounds(
      firstBound: CLLocation(latitude: originCoordinates.latitude, longitude: originCoordinates.longitude),
      secondBound: CLLocation(latitude: rightBottomCoordinates.latitude, longitude: rightBottomCoordinates.longitude)
    )
  }
}

public struct MapBounds {
  let firstBound: CLLocation
  let secondBound: CLLocation
}

Usage

self.mapView.newBounds
