Getting started with Map v3

Creating a simple application with Deep Map™ is simpler than you might think. To begin, you will need the following files:

• HDMMapCore.framework -  the main framework for the DeepMap 3.0 SDK

• DeepMap.zip - contains the map file, styling, routing-database, textures and more

You can find the above files on our Download page. Mind that this section of our website is password protected - please contact us to get your credentials!

For the scope of the tutorial we will use a simple “Single View Application” :

Note

The following steps are the same for Swift and Objective-C.

Once this is done we add our framework to the project by adding it to the Embedded Binaries section in the General tab:

Note

Also make sure the framework is inside your project or add the path to the framework to the “Framework Search Path” in the build settings!

We also need to add our mapfile (DeepMap.zip) as a resource for our app:

In order to show the map, a HDMMapView must be set. This part is slightly different for Objective-C and Swift:

Objective-C

Now open the header-file ViewController.h. For simplicity, replace the view from the template with our HDMMapView. All you have to do for that to work is the following:

//
//  ViewController.h
//  MyAwesomeDeepMapApp
//
//  Copyright © 2018 Heidelberg mobil International GmbH. All rights reserved.
//

#import <HDMMapCore/HDMMapViewController.h>
@interface
ViewController : HDMMapViewController <HDMMapViewControllerDelegate>

@end

Swift

Now open the file ViewController.swift. For simplicity, replace the view from the template with our HDMMapView. All you have to do for that to work is the following:

//
//  ViewController.swift
//  MyAwesomeDeepMapApp
//

import UIKit
import HDMMapCore

class ViewController: HDMMapViewController {
    /* ... */
}

That’s it! If you now start the app on your device or in the simulator you will be able to view our example map.

Or if you want to use the mapView inside of a ContainerView use this:

Swift

import UIKit
import HDMMapCore

class ViewController: UIViewController, HDMMapViewControllerDelegate {

    var mapViewController: HDMMapViewController?
    @IBOutlet weak var viewMapContainer: UIView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        let mapStorage = HDMMapStorage()
        if let path = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "DeepMap", ofType: "zip"), case .success(let deepMap) = mapStorage.store(zipPath: path) {
            self.mapViewController = HDMMapViewController(map: deepMap)
            if let mapViewController = self.mapViewController {
                self.viewMapContainer.addSubview(mapViewController.view)
                mapViewController.view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

                self.viewMapContainer.leftAnchor.constraint(equalTo: mapViewController.view.leftAnchor).isActive       = true
                self.viewMapContainer.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: mapViewController.view.rightAnchor).isActive     = true
                self.viewMapContainer.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: mapViewController.view.topAnchor).isActive         = true
                self.viewMapContainer.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: mapViewController.view.bottomAnchor).isActive   = true

                mapViewController.delegate = self
            }
        }
    }
}
