Positioning MKMapView to show multiple annotations at once

I've got several annotations I want to add to my MKMapView (it could 0-n items, where n is generally around 5). I can add the annotations fine, but I want to resize the map to fit all annotations onscreen at once, and I'm not sure how to do this.

I've been looking at -regionThatFits: but I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I'll post some code to show what I've got so far. I think this should be a generally straightforward task but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with MapKit so far.

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation{

location = newLocation.coordinate;
//One location is obtained.. just zoom to that location

MKCoordinateRegion region;
region.center = location;

//Set Zoom level using Span
MKCoordinateSpan span;
span.latitudeDelta = 0.015;
span.longitudeDelta = 0.015;
region.span = span;
// Set the region here... but I want this to be a dynamic size
// Obviously this should be set after I've added my annotations
[mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];

// Test data, using these as annotations for now
NSArray *arr = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"one", @"two", @"three", @"four", nil];
float ex = 0.01;
for (NSString *s in arr) {
    JBAnnotation *placemark = [[JBAnnotation alloc] initWithLat:(location.latitude + ex) lon:location.longitude];
    [mapView addAnnotation:placemark];
    ex = ex + 0.005;
}
    // What do I do here?
    [mapView setRegion:[mapView regionThatFits:region] animated:YES];
}

Notice, this all happens as I receive a location update... I don't know if that's an appropriate place to do this. If not, where would be a better place? -viewDidLoad?

Thanks in advance.

Adding additional to Stéphane de Luca's answer. Here we can keep UserLocation plus Custom annotations to fit MKMapView

 private func centerViewOnUserLocation() {
    
    if selectedLatitudeFromPreviousVC?.description != nil && selectedLongitudeFromPreviousVC?.description != nil {
        
        if let location = locationManager.location?.coordinate {
            let region = regionFor(coordinates: [
                CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: selectedLatitudeFromPreviousVC!, longitude: selectedLongitudeFromPreviousVC!),
                location])
            mkmapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
        }
    } else {
        if let location = locationManager.location?.coordinate {
            let region = MKCoordinateRegion.init(center: location, latitudinalMeters: regionInMeters, longitudinalMeters: regionInMeters)
            mkmapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
        }
    }
}

private func regionFor(coordinates coords: [CLLocationCoordinate2D]) -> MKCoordinateRegion {
    var r = MKMapRect.null

    for i in 0 ..< coords.count {
        let p = MKMapPoint(coords[i])
        r = r.union(MKMapRect(x: p.x, y: p.y, width: 0, height: 0))
    }

    var coordinateRegion = MKCoordinateRegion(r)
    coordinateRegion.span.latitudeDelta *= 1.5
    coordinateRegion.span.longitudeDelta *= 1.5
    return coordinateRegion
}

I hope this is at least relevant, this is what I put together for Mono (based off of pkclSoft's answer):

void ZoomMap (MKMapView map)
{
    var annotations = map.Annotations;

    if (annotations == null || annotations.Length == 0) 
        return;

    var points = annotations.OfType<MapAnnotation> ()
                            .Select (s => MKMapPoint.FromCoordinate (s.Coordinate))
                            .ToArray ();            

    map.SetVisibleMapRect(MKPolygon.FromPoints (points).BoundingMapRect, true); 
}

Consider this extension:

extension MKCoordinateRegion {
    init(locations: [CLLocationCoordinate2D], marginMultiplier: Double = 1.1) {
        let mapRect = locations.reduce(MKMapRect(), {
            let point = MKMapPointForCoordinate($1)
            let rect = MKMapRect(origin: point, size: MKMapSize(width: 0.0, height: 0.0))
            return MKMapRectUnion($0, rect)
        })

        var coordinateRegion = MKCoordinateRegionForMapRect(mapRect)
        coordinateRegion.span.latitudeDelta *= marginMultiplier
        coordinateRegion.span.longitudeDelta *= marginMultiplier
        self = coordinateRegion
    }
}

A swift 5 version:

   func regionFor(coordinates coords: [CLLocationCoordinate2D]) -> MKCoordinateRegion {
        var r = MKMapRect.null

        for i in 0 ..< coords.count {
            let p = MKMapPoint(coords[i])

            r = r.union(MKMapRect(x: p.x, y: p.y, width: 0, height: 0))
        }

        return MKCoordinateRegion(r)
    }
