Summary

FlyoverKit is a Swift library that provides 360° flyover views of various monuments on an MKMapView. It allows developers to create an app that takes users to different locations around the world with the click of a button. The library uses Cocoapods and requires Xcode 10, a Mac, and a physical iOS device for testing. To set up the app, developers need to initialize a new single-view iOS project, add FlyoverKit as an external dependency, and configure the map view in the storyboard. The app can be customized with different map types, such as hybridFlyover, Standard, or SatelliteFlyover. When the user clicks the button, the app generates a random location from a dictionary of famous landmarks and uses FlyoverKit to create a flyover animation of that location. The animation can be configured with settings such as duration, altitude, pitch, and heading step. The app also includes a label to display the randomly generated location. With this library, developers can create an immersive travel experience for their users.
