Chris, I first watched your videos four years ago, took a break from the developer path, and now I'm back watching them again. They are truly awesome. You have an incredible talent for explaining things and presenting them in an elegant way. I must make a point to watch your videos more often. Definitely much more.

Wow, this makes Maps so much easier in SwiftUI! I'm working with Maps in an iOS 14 project and they are a HASSLE! Such a nice new API. Thanks for introducing it :D

I watched the full WWDC23 video before I watched yours. I must say, you were able to cover the essentials quite well in a fraction of the time! Thanks.

Thank you for your content. It is very easy to understand for someone who doesn't speak English.

[snavemarc]

Thank you! I have learnt loads with this video!

[monsieurmilo]

Thank you very much for helping me learn 🤗

[TheRealDomDavid]

Do you have a video where you can add to the map on the user end and store them?

[warrenscorner]

I tried to create an app with UIMapKit a few years ago. I was making some progress but eventually my limited coding experience prevented me from completing it. I’m hoping SwiftUI will make my attempt much easier.

Where can I make video suggestions for this channel? Thx😊

[senex]

How can i center the map on a specific coordinate on view creation?

[s.tunahanustuntepe]

How do we get the coordinate of the user automatically here, here we give it manually?

[jt]

Can you show in a future vid how we could add button for directions from where the user is to selected coordinates, it would help a lot. Thx!☺️

[simmsilot]

Hey,
I love the video!
Could you explain how show the user location with the new API?

[wolframschiffmann]

Hi, thanks for this great intro to maps. I will build an app for aircraft navigation and unfortunately, there is no internet access in the aircraft. Can you give me some advice how I can download maps for offline usage? Thanks and best regards, Wolfram

[FabricioMTL]

Can you do tutorial to how to show user location

[danielcrompton]

This should be on CWC+, especially the camera positioning part. This way everything is together

[oreooreo]

Thx man! you're making almost possible my app for my college project 🫂
