How do you disable user interaction to an entire Map (MKMapView) in iOS? I just want to disable zooming, tapping, etc and show a static map. [self.mapView setUserInteractionEnabled:NO]
didn't work. Found no working solutions via Google or other answers here on Stack (pls link if you find a working answer..). Targeting iOS 5. There should be an easier way to do this.

I know this is a really old thread but the answer is a simple modifier of
.allowsHitTesting(false)
on the Map object.
This disables all Map interaction.

The key is to disable zooms and scrolls.
In Objective-C:
self.mapView.zoomEnabled = false;
self.mapView.scrollEnabled = false;
self.mapView.userInteractionEnabled = false;
Or Swift:
mapView.isZoomEnabled = false
mapView.isScrollEnabled = false
mapView.isUserInteractionEnabled = false
By the way, if you want a static map, you might consider using MKMapSnapshotter
instead. This creates an image representation of a map. If you have annotations or overlays, you have to render them manually, but, depending upon your use-case, map snapshots might do the job.

How about this little hack!
just place UIView
on top of the MKMapView
having all the same frame details. Also note that the backgroundColor
of this view should be clearColor

You can set the enabled property of MKAnnotationView to NO
For disabling Zoom, you can set mapView.zoomEnabled = FALSE;
enabled
A Boolean value indicating whether the annotation is enabled.
@property (nonatomic, getter=isEnabled) BOOL enabled
Discussion
The default value of this property is YES. If the value of this property is NO, the annotation view ignores touch events and cannot be selected. Subclasses may also display the annotation contents differently depending on the value of this property.
