iPhone: Detecting Tap in MKMapView

Question

How do I detect a single tap on an instance of MKMapView? Do I have to subclass MKMapView and then override the touchesEnded method?

Working Perfectly on iOS 8

- (void)viewDidLoad 
    {
        [super viewDidLoad];

        UITapGestureRecognizer *doubleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:nil];
        doubleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 2;
        doubleTap.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;
        [self.mapView addGestureRecognizer:doubleTap];

        UITapGestureRecognizer *singleTap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleGesture:)];
        singleTap.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
        singleTap.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1;
        [singleTap requireGestureRecognizerToFail: doubleTap];
        [self.mapView addGestureRecognizer:singleTap];
     }

   - (void)handleGesture:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer
     {
            if (gestureRecognizer.state != UIGestureRecognizerStateEnded)
                return;
            //Do your work ...
     }
