Mapbox Navigation SDK

Mapbox Navigation gives you all the tools you need to add turn-by-turn navigation to your iOS application.

Get up and running in a few minutes with our drop-in turn-by-turn navigation NavigationViewController, or build a completely custom turn-by-turn navigation app with our core components for routing and navigation.

Features

Requirements

The Mapbox Navigation SDK and Core Navigation are compatible with applications written in Swift 4.2 or Objective-C in Xcode 10.0. The Mapbox Navigation and Mapbox Core Navigation frameworks run on iOS 9.0 and above.

The last release compatible with Swift 3.2 was v0.10.1.

The Mapbox Navigation SDK is also available for Android.

Installation

Using CocoaPods

To install Mapbox Navigation using CocoaPods:

  1. Create a Podfile with the following specification:

    pod 'MapboxNavigation', '~> 0.31.0'
  2. Run pod repo update && pod install and open the resulting Xcode workspace.

Using Carthage

Alternatively, to install Mapbox Navigation using Carthage:

  1. Create a Cartfile with the following dependency:

    github "mapbox/mapbox-navigation-ios" ~> 0.31
    
  2. Run carthage update --platform iOS to build just the iOS dependencies.

  3. Follow the rest of Carthage’s iOS integration instructions. Your application target’s Embedded Frameworks should include MapboxNavigation.framework, MapboxCoreNavigation.framework, and MapboxNavigationNative.framework.

Configuration

  1. Mapbox APIs and vector tiles require a Mapbox account and API access token. In the project editor, select the application target, then go to the Info tab. Under the “Custom iOS Target Properties” section, set MGLMapboxAccessToken to your access token. You can obtain an access token from the Mapbox account page.

  2. In order for the SDK to track the user’s location as they move along the route, set NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription to:

    Shows your location on the map and helps improve OpenStreetMap.

  3. Users expect the SDK to continue to track the user’s location and deliver audible instructions even while a different application is visible or the device is locked. Go to the Capabilities tab. Under the Background Modes section, enable “Audio, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture” and “Location updates”. (Alternatively, add the audio and location values to the UIBackgroundModes array in the Info tab.)

Now import the relevant modules and present a new NavigationViewController. You can also push to a navigation view controller from within a storyboard if your application’s UI is laid out in Interface Builder.

import MapboxDirections
import MapboxCoreNavigation
import MapboxNavigation
let origin = Waypoint(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 38.9131752, longitude: -77.0324047), name: "Mapbox")
let destination = Waypoint(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 38.8977, longitude: -77.0365), name: "White House")

let options = NavigationRouteOptions(waypoints: [origin, destination])

Directions.shared.calculate(options) { (waypoints, routes, error) in
    guard let route = routes?.first else { return }

    let viewController = NavigationViewController(for: route)
    present(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Consult the API reference for further details.

Examples

The API reference includes example code for accomplishing common tasks. You can run these examples as part of the navigation-ios-examples project.

This repository also contains Swift and Objective-C testbeds that exercise a variety of navigation SDK features:

  1. Clone the repository or download the .zip file
  2. Run carthage update --platform ios to build just the iOS dependencies.
  3. Open MapboxNavigation.xcodeproj.
  4. Sign up or log in to your Mapbox account and grab a Mapbox Access Token.
  5. Open the Info.plist in the Example target and paste your Mapbox Access Token into MGLMapboxAccessToken. (Alternatively, if you plan to use this project as the basis for a public project on GitHub, place the access token in a plain text file named .mapbox or mapbox in your home directory instead of adding it to Info.plist.)
  6. Build and run the Example target.

Customization

Styling

You can customize the appearance in order to blend in with the rest of your app. Checkout DayStyle.swift for all styleable elements.

class CustomStyle: DayStyle {

    required init() {
        super.init()
        mapStyleURL = URL(string: "mapbox://styles/mapbox/satellite-streets-v9")!
        styleType = .nightStyle
    }

    override func apply() {
        super.apply()
        BottomBannerView.appearance().backgroundColor = .orange
    }
}

then initialize NavigationViewController with your style or styles:

let options = NavigationOptions(styles: [CustomStyle()])
NavigationViewController(for: route, options: options)

Starting from scratch

If your application needs something totally custom, such as a voice-only experience or an unconventional user interface, consult the Core Navigation installation guide.
