How to disable user interaction on MKMapView?

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.
