Swift 3 Rotate Map With User Direction

Issue

Currently my swift Application has a mapview with various annotations, is there a way when the user is walking from various annotations on the map to not be always locked in the north direction? I want the map to turn in the direction that they are walking instead of always pointing north.

Here is my current updatelocation function

func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation])
{

    let location = locations[0]
    let myLocation:CLLocationCoordinate2D = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(location.coordinate.latitude, location.coordinate.longitude)
    let region:MKCoordinateRegion = MKCoordinateRegionMake(myLocation, noteTime.span)
    map.setRegion(region, animated: true)
    self.map.showsUserLocation = true
    map.tintColor = UIColor(red:0.19, green:0.69, blue:0.73, alpha:1.0)
}

Should I declare it in here?

Solution

This example will update the rotation of the mapView to be pointing in the same direction as the user.

import UIKit
import MapKit
import CoreLocation

class ViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {

    @IBOutlet weak var mapView: MKMapView!

    let locationManager = CLLocationManager()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        locationManager.delegate = self
        locationManager.startUpdatingHeading()
    }

    func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateHeading newHeading: CLHeading) {
        mapView.camera.heading = newHeading.magneticHeading
        mapView.setCamera(mapView.camera, animated: true)
    }
}

Is that what you were after? I hope that helps :)
