You can try this code

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    UITapGestureRecognizer *tapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(foundTap:)];

    tapRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;

    tapRecognizer.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;

    [self.myMapView addGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer];
}


-(IBAction)foundTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)recognizer
{
    CGPoint point = [recognizer locationInView:self.myMapView];  

    CLLocationCoordinate2D tapPoint = [self.myMapView convertPoint:point toCoordinateFromView:self.view];

    MKPointAnnotation *point1 = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];

    point1.coordinate = tapPoint;

    [self.myMapView addAnnotation:point1];
}

All the best.
