Convert MKMapPoint to NSValue in Swift

I want to convert an MKMapPoint to a NSValue. In Objective-C i can do it with the following statement:

MKMapPoint point = MKMapPointForCoordinate(location.coordinate);
NSValue *pointValue = [NSValue value:&point withObjCType:@encode(MKMapPoint)];

How can i do that in Swift? Thanks!

I think Leo's answer isn't correct anymore, I managed to convert array of MKMapPoint to an array of CGPoint with the code below :

let polygonView = MKPolygonRenderer(overlay: overlay)
let polyPoints = polygonView.polygon.points() //returns [MKMapPoint]
var arrOfCGPoints : [CGPoint] = []
for i in 0..<polygonView.polygon.pointCount {
    arrOfCGPoints.append(polygonView.point(for: polyPoints[i])) //converts to CGPoint
    }
print(arrOfCGPoints)
//prints [(10896.74671715498, 10527.267575368285), (10830.46552553773, 10503.901612073183), (10741.784851640463, 10480.270403653383), (10653.04738676548, 10456.62348484993), (10566.442882657051, 10409.803505435586)]

And to NSValue :

ler someCgPoint = arrOfCGPoints[0]
var pointObj = NSValue(CGPoint: someCgPoint)

It isn't possible in Swift, but you can still create a category in ObjC and use it in your Swift project

// NSValue+MKMapPoint.h
@interface NSValue (MKMapPoint)

+ (NSValue *)valueWithMKMapPoint:(MKMapPoint)mapPoint;
- (MKMapPoint)MKMapPointValue;

@end


// NSValue+MKMapPoint.m
@implementation NSValue (MKMapPoint)

+ (NSValue *)valueWithMKMapPoint:(MKMapPoint)mapPoint {
    return [NSValue value:&mapPoint withObjCType:@encode(MKMapPoint)];
}

- (MKMapPoint)MKMapPointValue {
    MKMapPoint mapPoint;
    [self getValue:&mapPoint];
    return mapPoint;
}

@end

The usage in Swift:

let mapValue = CGValue(MKMapPoint: <your map point>)
let mapPoint = mapValue.MKMapPointValue();

Sadly this is currently not possible in Swift.
