Hello, I played with this earlier today, however I was not able to make it work. Do you have a demo I could look at? I am also wondering that if the website are generating the pgx file in a new format now.

I was able to get this working in an app just fine and loading a gpx file, but the location still doesn't spoof. I don't see the location updating at all, even when I go to Debug > Simulate Location.

Hmm, not sure what could be wrong without more info. I haven't needed to use this lib recently. I'll spend some time looking at the code tonight and making a demo.

If your app is using the CLLocationMiddleManager instead (and calling startUpdatingLocation on that), it should start sending locations interpolated from the GPX file.

Can you throw a breakpoint into calculateLocation and confirm that it's being called every 0.1 seconds? Additionally, your delegate method should then be receiving didUpdateLocations with the new location.

Will try that this afternoon. I believe the gpx file is loaded and executed by the CLLocationMiddleManager.swift. but it is not spoofing the location.

wumingque commented 8 years ago

calculateLocation() is called! there was a mistake and now the calculateLocation() is being kept called.

shrugs commented 8 years ago

Interesting. Is the location passed in to didUpdateLocations your current location or some location along the GPX route?

wumingque commented 8 years ago

I did not do anything with the didUpdateLocations... Thank you so much for pointing me the right direction. I am really rookie to MapKit. I think the didUpdateLocations is working, but the mapView didUpdateUserLocation is not updated...

shrugs commented 8 years ago

@wumingque Oh! MapKit uses its own version of CLLocationManager when you set showsUserLocation to true. So MapKit never knows about CLLocationMiddleManager. If you'd like to use your own CLLocationManager (or middle manager!) to send updates to the MKMapView, you have to do it the manual way by listening for updates on didUpdateLocations and then setting the mapView's region

This StackOverflow answer has some example objc code and references a github project called artwork-extractor that will let you use the native blue dot as an annotation image.

Let me know if that helps!

Thank you @Shrugs! I definitely will look into that. Since it is CLLocationMiddleManager issue any more, I will close this.
