MapKit integration for location features

MapKit displays interactive maps with annotations, overlays, and user location. SwiftUI's Map view simplifies basic map integration with declarative syntax. I add annotations for points of interest, polylines for routes, and polygons for regions. MKCoordinateRegion sets the visible map area. Location updates require CLLocationManager with proper permission requests. For custom annotations, I use MKAnnotationView with UIKit or MapAnnotation in SwiftUI. Geocoding converts addresses to coordinates with CLGeocoder. Reverse geocoding does the opposite. For directions, MKDirections calculates routes between locations. MapKit also supports clustering annotations, displaying traffic, and satellite imagery.
