mapkit

Almost every major news media outlet is reporting that Apple will stop using Google Maps services in iOS6. I don't think anyone really knows what exactly the changes are, when they will be rolled out, how Apple will implement them and if Google or Apple will start charging money for their services. As a result of these uncertainties, I am having trouble making a sound decision on whether I should or should not release a new public bus tracker app that I have been working on for over a year now. I have had the initial hard deadline set for June 15, 2012. I know that the best thing to do is to

I am using a custom map annotation class for map view in iPhone. Whenever I pop my map view from navigation bar stack I usually see some warnings in console. MapAnnotation was deallocated while key value observers were still registered with it. Observation info was leaked, and may even become mistakenly attached to some other object. Set a breakpoint on NSKVODeallocateBreak to stop here in the debugger. Here's the current observation info: I am not using KVO in my code hence not able to understand why I am receiving these warnings Latitude and Longitude have differing bounds: (-90, 90) for Lat

Here's a sample custom callout that I'd want to get a similar style of. I was thinking of inheriting from MKAnnotation but I'm lost how to start it and I don't know if the callout's design could be overridden. Any ideas how to implement this custom callout with ui controls inside? EDIT: Here's my code from following the similar StackOverflow answer: - (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapview viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation { if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]]) return nil; static NSString* AnnotationIdentifier = @"AnnotationIdentifier";

I want to know is it possible to show only specific region on map not the full world map using Map Kit. Like if i want to show Asia map in my application then map kit hides remaining part of the map. To handle the "map kit hides remaining part of the map" requirement, one thing you can do is create a black polygon overlay that covers the whole world with a cutout over Asia (or wherever you like). For example, where you initialize the map (eg. in viewDidLoad): CLLocationCoordinate2D asiaCoords[4] = { {55,60}, {55,150}, {0,150}, {0,60} }; //change or add coordinates (and update count below) as

I'm testing out the MapKit framework on the iPhone and would really much like to switch the standard pin that displays a location to an image called "location.png". How can I modify my code to allow that? Maincontroller - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // // Set the map center // CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate; coordinate.latitude = 49.2802; coordinate.longitude = -123.1182; mapView.region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(coordinate, 2000, 2000); // // Set 10 random locations on the map for testing purposes // for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { CGFloat latDelta = rand()*.035/RAND
