Going further with the Swift weather app?

Hi there, I am building out from the base Stormy code and I would like to put a weather map into my app. Anybody know how? I've looked at Mapbox and Open WeatherMap and both have api's to use and the NSURLSession call should work the same as for Forecast.io...but I don't know how to put a map together. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Hi Susanna,

You will need to import MapKit and use a MapKitView with its delegate methods.

Hope this helps

Thank you Sebastien! I am looking into building a custom overlay with precipitation intensity as color bands and adding it to a map. DarkSky has a cool look that I'm trying to figure out how to emulate. I've been playing with MapBox, GoogleMaps and OpenWeatherMap but I have to use their map...maybe there is a way to do it using Apple's own MapKit Views. I need to study the docs...
