## Quick Reference
| Symptom | Check First | Common Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Annotations not appearing | Coordinate values (lat/lng swapped?) | Verify coordinate, check viewFor delegate |
| Map region jumps/loops | updateUIView guard | Add region equality check |
| Slow with many annotations | Annotation count, view reuse | Enable clustering, implement view reuse |
| Clustering not working | clusteringIdentifier set? | Set same identifier on all views |
| Overlays not rendering | renderer delegate method | Return correct MKOverlayRenderer subclass |
| Search returns no results | resultTypes, region bias | Set appropriate resultTypes and region |
| User location not showing | Authorization status | Request CLLocationManager authorization first |
| Coordinates appear wrong | lat/lng order | MapKit uses (latitude, longitude) — verify data source |
---
## Symptom 1: Annotations Not Appearing
### Decision Tree
```
Q1: Are coordinates valid?
├─ 0,0 or NaN → Data source returning default/empty values
│ Fix: Validate coordinates before adding annotations
│ Debug: print("\(annotation.coordinate.latitude), \(annotation.coordinate.longitude)")
└─ Valid numbers → Check next
Q2: Are lat/lng swapped?
├─ YES (common with GeoJSON which uses [longitude, latitude]) → Swap values
│ GeoJSON: [lng, lat] — MapKit: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude:, longitude:)
│ Fix: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: json[1], longitude: json[0])
└─ NO → Check next
Q3: (MKMapView) Is mapView(_:viewFor:) delegate returning nil for your annotations?
├─ Not implemented → System uses default pin (should appear)
├─ Returns nil → System uses default pin (should appear)
├─ Returns wrong view → Check implementation
└─ Check delegate is set
Q4: (MKMapView) Is delegate set?
├─ NO → mapView.delegate = self (or context.coordinator in UIViewRepresentable)
│ Without delegate: default pins appear. But if viewFor returns nil, check annotation type
└─ YES → Check next
Q5: (SwiftUI) Are annotations in Map content builder?
├─ NO → Annotations must be inside Map { ... } content closure
│ Fix: Map(position: $pos) { Marker("Name", coordinate: coord) }
└─ YES → Check next
Q6: Is the map region showing the annotation coordinates?
├─ Map centered elsewhere → Adjust camera/region to include annotation coordinates
│ Debug: Compare mapView.region with annotation coordinates
│ Fix: Use .automatic camera position or set region to fit annotations
└─ Region includes annotations → Check displayPriority
Q7: (MKMapView) Is displayPriority too low?
├─ .defaultLow → System may hide annotations at certain zoom levels
│ Fix: view.displayPriority = .required for must-show annotations
└─ .required → Annotation should appear — file a bug report with minimal repro
```
---
## Symptom 2: Map Region Jumping / Infinite Loops
### Decision Tree
```
Q1: (UIViewRepresentable) Is setRegion called in updateUIView without guard?
├─ YES → Classic infinite loop:
│ 1. SwiftUI state changes → updateUIView called
│ 2. updateUIView calls setRegion
│ 3. setRegion triggers regionDidChangeAnimated delegate
│ 4. Delegate updates SwiftUI state → back to step 1
│ Fix: Guard against unnecessary updates
│ if mapView.region.center.latitude != region.center.latitude
│ || mapView.region.center.longitude != region.center.longitude {
│ mapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
│ }
│ Alternative: Use a flag in coordinator
│ coordinator.isUpdating = true
│ mapView.setRegion(region, animated: true)
│ coordinator.isUpdating = false
│ // In regionDidChangeAnimated: guard !isUpdating
└─ NO → Check next
Q2: Are multiple state sources fighting over the region?
├─ YES → Two bindings or state variables controlling the same region
│ Fix: Single source of truth for camera position
│ One @State var cameraPosition, not two conflicting values
└─ NO → Check next
Q3: (SwiftUI) Is MapCameraPosition properly bound?
├─ Using .constant() or recreating position on each render → Camera resets
│ Fix: @State private var cameraPosition: MapCameraPosition = .automatic
│ Use the binding: Map(position: $cameraPosition)
└─ Properly bound → Check next
Q4: Animation conflict?
├─ Using animated: true in updateUIView alongside SwiftUI animations → Double animation
│ Fix: Avoid animated: true in updateUIView, or disable SwiftUI animation for map
└─ NO → Check next
Q5: Is onMapCameraChange triggering state updates that move the camera?
├─ YES → Camera change → callback → state change → camera change
│ Fix: Only update non-camera state in the callback
│ Don't set cameraPosition inside onMapCameraChange
└─ NO → Check delegate implementation for unintended state mutations
```
---
## Symptom 3: Performance Issues
### Decision Tree
```
Q1: How many annotations?
├─ > 500 without clustering → Enable clustering
│ SwiftUI: .mapItemClusteringIdentifier("poi")
│ MKMapView: view.clusteringIdentifier = "poi"
├─ > 1000 → Consider visible-region filtering
│ Only load annotations within mapView.region
│ Use .onMapCameraChange to fetch when user scrolls
└─ < 500 → Check next
Q2: (MKMapView) Using dequeueReusableAnnotationView?
├─ NO → Every annotation creates a new view → memory spike
│ Fix: Register view class and dequeue in delegate
│ mapView.register(MKMarkerAnnotationView.self, forAnnotationViewWithReuseIdentifier: "marker")
└─ YES → Check next
Q3: Complex custom annotation views?
├─ YES → Rich SwiftUI views or complex UIViews per annotation
│ Fix: Pre-render to UIImage for MKAnnotationView.image
│ Or simplify to MKMarkerAnnotationView with glyph
└─ NO → Check next
Q4: Overlays with many coordinates?
├─ YES → Polylines/polygons with 10K+ points
│ Fix: Simplify geometry (Douglas-Peucker algorithm)
│ Or render at reduced detail for zoomed-out views
└─ NO → Check next
Q5: Geocoding in a loop?
├─ YES → CLGeocoder has rate limit (~1/second)
│ Fix: Batch geocoding, throttle requests, cache results
│ Use MKLocalSearch for batch lookups instead of per-item geocoding
└─ NO → Profile with Instruments → Time Profiler for CPU, Allocations for memory
```
---
## Symptom 4: Clustering Not Working
### Decision Tree
```
Q1: Is clusteringIdentifier set on annotation views?
├─ NO → Clustering requires an identifier on each annotation view
│ MKMapView: view.clusteringIdentifier = "poi" in viewFor delegate
│ SwiftUI: .mapItemClusteringIdentifier("poi") on content
└─ YES → Check next
Q2: Are ALL relevant views using the SAME identifier?
├─ NO → Different identifiers = different cluster groups
│ Fix: Use consistent identifier for annotations that should cluster together
└─ YES → Check next
Q3: (MKMapView) Is mapView(_:clusterAnnotationForMemberAnnotations:) needed?
├─ Not implemented → System creates default cluster
│ If you need custom cluster appearance, implement this delegate method
└─ Implemented → Check return value
Q4: Too few annotations in visible area?
├─ YES → Clustering only activates when annotations physically overlap
│ At low zoom (city level), 10 annotations might cluster
│ At high zoom (street level), same 10 might all be visible individually
└─ NO → Check next
Q5: (MKMapView) Are annotation views registered?
├─ NO → Register both individual and cluster view classes
│ mapView.register(MKMarkerAnnotationView.self, forAnnotationViewWithReuseIdentifier: "marker")
└─ YES → Verify viewFor delegate handles both MKClusterAnnotation and individual annotations
```
---
## Symptom 5: Overlays Not Rendering
### Decision Tree
```
Q1: (MKMapView) Is mapView(_:rendererFor:) delegate method implemented?
├─ NO → Overlays require a renderer — without this delegate method, nothing renders
│ Fix: Implement the delegate method, return appropriate renderer subclass
└─ YES → Check next
Q2: Is the correct renderer subclass returned?
├─ MKCircle → MKCircleRenderer
│ MKPolyline → MKPolylineRenderer
│ MKPolygon → MKPolygonRenderer
│ MKTileOverlay → MKTileOverlayRenderer
│ Mismatch → Crash or silent failure
└─ Correct → Check next
Q3: Is renderer styled?
├─ No strokeColor/fillColor/lineWidth set → Renderer exists but invisible
│ Fix: Set at minimum strokeColor and lineWidth
│ renderer.strokeColor = .systemBlue
│ renderer.lineWidth = 2
└─ Styled → Check next
Q4: Overlay level wrong?
├─ .aboveRoads → Overlay may be behind labels (hard to see)
│ Try: mapView.addOverlay(overlay, level: .aboveLabels)
└─ Check overlay coordinates match visible region
Q5: (SwiftUI) Using MapCircle/MapPolyline without styling?
├─ No .foregroundStyle or .stroke → May render transparent
│ Fix: MapCircle(center: coord, radius: 500)
│ .foregroundStyle(.blue.opacity(0.3))
│ .stroke(.blue, lineWidth: 2)
└─ Styled → Check coordinates are within visible map region
```
---
## Symptom 6: Search / Directions Failures
### Decision Tree
```
Q1: Network available?
├─ NO → MapKit search requires network connectivity
│ Fix: Check URLSession connectivity or NWPathMonitor
└─ YES → Check next
Q2: resultTypes too restrictive?
├─ Only .physicalFeature but searching for "Starbucks" → No results
│ Fix: Use .pointOfInterest for businesses, .address for streets
│ Or combine: [.pointOfInterest, .address]
└─ Appropriate → Check next
Q3: Region bias missing?
├─ NO region set → Results may be from anywhere in the world
│ Fix: request.region = mapView.region (or visible region)
│ This biases results to what the user can see
└─ Region set → Check next
Q4: Natural language query format?
├─ Structured format (lat/lng, codes) → Won't parse
│ Good: "coffee shops near San Francisco"
│ Good: "123 Main St"
│ Bad: "lat:37.7 lng:-122.4 coffee"
│ Bad: "POI_TYPE=cafe"
└─ Natural language → Check next
Q5: Rate limited?
├─ Getting errors after many requests → Apple rate-limits MapKit search
│ Fix: Throttle searches, use MKLocalSearchCompleter for autocomplete
│ Don't fire MKLocalSearch on every keystroke
└─ NO → Check next
Q6: (Directions) Source and destination valid?
├─ source or destination is nil → Request will fail
│ Fix: Verify both are valid MKMapItem instances
│ MKMapItem.forCurrentLocation() requires location authorization
└─ Both valid → Check transportType availability
Transit directions not available in all regions
Walking/driving available globally
```
---
## Symptom 7: User Location Not Showing
### Decision Tree
```
Q1: What is CLLocationManager.authorizationStatus?
├─ .notDetermined → Authorization never requested
│ Fix: Request authorization first, then enable user location
│ CLServiceSession(authorization: .whenInUse)
├─ .denied → User denied location access
│ Fix: Show UI explaining value, link to Settings
├─ .restricted → Parental controls block access
│ Fix: Inform user, cannot override
└─ .authorizedWhenInUse / .authorizedAlways → Check next
Q2: (MKMapView) Is showsUserLocation set to true?
├─ NO → mapView.showsUserLocation = true
└─ YES → Check next
Q3: (SwiftUI) Using UserAnnotation() in Map content?
├─ NO → Add UserAnnotation() inside Map { ... }
└─ YES → Check next
Q4: Running in Simulator?
├─ YES, no custom location set → Simulator doesn't have GPS
│ Fix: Debug menu → Location → Custom Location (or Apple/City Bicycle Ride/etc.)
│ Xcode: Debug → Simulate Location → pick a location
└─ Physical device → Check next
Q5: MapKit implicitly requests authorization — was it previously denied?
├─ MapKit shows no prompt if already denied
│ Check: Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Your App
│ If "Never": User must manually re-enable
└─ Authorized → Check if location services enabled system-wide
Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → toggle at top
Q6: Location icon appearing but blue dot not on screen?
├─ User is outside the visible map region
│ Fix: Use MapCameraPosition.userLocation(fallback: .automatic)
│ Or add MapUserLocationButton() in .mapControls
└─ See axiom-core-location-diag for deeper location troubleshooting
```

## Symptom 8: Coordinate System Confusion
Common coordinate mistakes that cause annotations to appear in wrong locations.
### MapKit vs GeoJSON
| System | Order | Example |
|---|---|---|
| MapKit (CLLocationCoordinate2D) | latitude, longitude | `CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 37.77, longitude: -122.42)` |
| GeoJSON | longitude, latitude | `[-122.42, 37.77]` |
| Google Maps | latitude, longitude | Same as MapKit |
| PostGIS ST_MakePoint | longitude, latitude | Same as GeoJSON |
**The #1 coordinate bug**: Swapping lat/lng when parsing GeoJSON.
```swift
// WRONG: Using GeoJSON order directly
let coord = CLLocationCoordinate2D(
latitude: geoJson[0], // This is longitude!
longitude: geoJson[1] // This is latitude!
)
// RIGHT: GeoJSON is [lng, lat], MapKit wants (lat, lng)
let coord = CLLocationCoordinate2D(
latitude: geoJson[1],
longitude: geoJson[0]
)
```
### MKMapPoint vs CLLocationCoordinate2D
- `CLLocationCoordinate2D` — geographic coordinates (lat/lng in degrees)
- `MKMapPoint` — projected coordinates for flat map rendering
- Convert: `MKMapPoint(coordinate)` and `coordinate` property on MKMapPoint
- Never use MKMapPoint x/y as lat/lng — they're completely different number spaces
### Validation
```swift
func isValidCoordinate(_ coord: CLLocationCoordinate2D) -> Bool {
coord.latitude >= -90 && coord.latitude <= 90
&& coord.longitude >= -180 && coord.longitude <= 180
&& !coord.latitude.isNaN && !coord.longitude.isNaN
}
```
If latitude > 90 or longitude > 180, coordinates are likely swapped or in wrong format.

## Console Debugging
### MapKit Logs
```bash
# View MapKit-related logs
log stream --predicate 'subsystem == "com.apple.MapKit"' --level debug
# Filter for your app
log stream --predicate 'process == "YourApp" AND (subsystem == "com.apple.MapKit" OR subsystem == "com.apple.CoreLocation")'
```
### Common Console Messages
| Message | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `No renderer for overlay` | Missing rendererFor delegate method |
| `Reuse identifier not registered` | Call register before dequeue |
| `CLLocationManager authorizationStatus is denied` | User denied location |
