the question is - is there a way to limit maximum zoom level for MKMapView? Or is there a way to track when user zooms to the level where there's no map image available?

Use this example to lock the maximum zoom range, also equally you can limit the minimum
map.cameraZoomRange = MKMapView.CameraZoomRange(maxCenterCoordinateDistance: 1200000)
If you are targeting iOS 13+, use the MKMapView setCameraZoomRange method. Simply provide the min and max center coordinate distances (measured in meters).
See Apple's Documentation here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkit/mkmapview/3114302-setcamerazoomrange
The following code worked for me and is conceptually easy to use because it sets the region based on a distance in meters. The code is derived from the answer posted by: @nevan-king and the comment posted by @Awais-Fayyaz to use regionDidChangeAnimated
Add the following extension to your MapViewDelegate
var currentLocation: CLLocationCoordinate2D?
extension MyMapViewController: MKMapViewDelegate {
func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, regionDidChangeAnimated animated: Bool) {
if self.currentLocation != nil, mapView.region.longitudinalMeters > 1000 {
let initialLocation = CLLocation(latitude: (self.currentLocation?.latitude)!,
longitude: (self.currentLocation?.longitude)!)
let coordinateRegion = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(initialLocation.coordinate,
regionRadius, regionRadius)
mapView.setRegion(coordinateRegion, animated: true)
}
}
}
Then define an extension for MKCoordinateRegion as follows.
extension MKCoordinateRegion {
/// middle of the south edge
var south: CLLocation {
return CLLocation(latitude: center.latitude - span.latitudeDelta / 2, longitude: center.longitude)
}
/// middle of the north edge
var north: CLLocation {
return CLLocation(latitude: center.latitude + span.latitudeDelta / 2, longitude: center.longitude)
}
/// middle of the east edge
var east: CLLocation {
return CLLocation(latitude: center.latitude, longitude: center.longitude + span.longitudeDelta / 2)
}
/// middle of the west edge
var west: CLLocation {
return CLLocation(latitude: center.latitude, longitude: center.longitude - span.longitudeDelta / 2)
}
/// distance between south and north in meters. Reverse function for MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance
var latitudinalMeters: CLLocationDistance {
return south.distance(from: north)
}
/// distance between east and west in meters. Reverse function for MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance
var longitudinalMeters: CLLocationDistance {
return east.distance(from: west)
}
}
