Terrain and satellite view using MapKit

I am new to Mapkit View. I want to display when I give lat and long without destination. Is it possible to display maps through terrain, satellite view in MapKit? Any tutorial link? I have seen some examples with accessing Google map API (html file). Is it necessary?

You can set any of the following Map Type for MapView

map.mapType = MKMapType.hybrid
map.mapType = MKMapType.hybridFlyover
map.mapType = MKMapType.mutedStandard
map.mapType = MKMapType.satellite
map.mapType = MKMapType.satelliteFlyover
map.mapType = MKMapType.standard

  • Hybrid - A satellite image of the area with road and road name information layered on top.

  • Standard - A street map that shows the position of all roads and some road names..

  • Satellite - Satellite imagery of the area.

  • HybridFlyover - A hybrid satellite image with flyover data where available.

  • SatelliteFlyover - A satellite image of the area with flyover data where available.

  • MutedStandard - A street map where your data is emphasized over the underlying map details.

hybrid , satellite , standard are available for iOS 3 and above

hybridFlyover , satelliteFlyover are available for iOS 9 and above

mutedStandard are available for iOS 11 and above

Or You can set it Programmatically as 

mapView.mapType = MKMapTypeSatellite;

if not supported in Swift 3 try this:

    map.mapType = MKMapType.satellite;

This is perhaps different with Objective-C, but in Swift it would be one of the following (add to viewDidLoad(), for instance): 

mapView.mapType = MKMapType.Standard;  // default: road map
mapView.mapType = MKMapType.Satellite;
mapView.mapType = MKMapType.Hybrid;

If you add a mapkit view on to your xib, you will see on the properties that you can set it to sattelite, terrain or map. The best tutorial/ link that I have found regarding mapkit is here:
