I have a MKMapView . I added a UITapGestureRecognizer with a single tap. I now want to add a MKAnnotationView to the map. I can tap the annotation and mapView:mapView didSelectAnnotationView:view fires (which is where I'll add additional logic to display a UIView). The issue is now when I tap the annotation, the MKMapView tap gesture also fires. Can I set it so if I tap the annotation, it only responds? There might be a better and cleaner solution but one way to do the trick is exploiting hitTest:withEvent: in the tap gesture recognized selector, e.g. suppose you have added a tap gesture

I have a map and a set of annotations, each with a 'parent' property. Currently when I add annotations I implement the didAddAnnotationViews method to animate those annotations so they appear to come from their parent's coordinate. Is there a way of doing this during the removal of annotations? When I remove an annotation from the map I want it to animate in to its parent coordinate, and as far as I know there is no equivalent for didAddAnnotationViews for when an annotation is removed. Animate annotation before you remove it from the map and perform removal after animation is completed. The

Im working with MKMapView and MKAnnotationView. I have an annotation in the map. When the users tap on it, the callOut Bubble is displayed. When the annotation is tapped again ( and the callOut Bubble is visible ) i need to change to another view. How can i detect the second tap, or the tap in the bubble? Could you add a gesture recognizer when you're initializing the MKAnnotationView ? Here's the code for inside dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier: UITapGestureRecognizer *tapGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(calloutTapped:)];

I have a requirement in my application map page. I have to customize the Callout bubbles. I need to add an image, two labels and a button with specific height and width of each. I have gone through web and could not find a proper link that explains how to customize the callout bubbles. If any one of you come across or know about it please share with me. any simple examples or links would be really great. Thanks in advance suresh MathieuF An example to help you : - (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation { MKAnnotationView *annotationView

if the user zooms out on a MKMapView, i want MKAnnotations which are near to each other automatically grouped into one "group" annotation. if the user zooms back in, the "group" annotation should be split again to the unique/original annotations. apple does this already in the iOS 4 Photos.app is there a common, "predefined" way to do this? ninjaproger Its normal working with more than 1500 annotations on the map: -(void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView_ regionDidChangeAnimated:(BOOL)animated { NSMutableSet * coordSet = [[NSMutableSet alloc] init]; for(id<MKAnnotation> an in mapView_.annotations)

I want to open up the callout for an MKPinAnnotationView programmatically. Eg I drop 10 pins on the map, and want to open up the one closest to me. How would I go about doing this? Apple has specified the 'selected' parameter for MKAnnotationView's , but discourages setting it directly (this doesn't work, tried it). For the rest MKAnnotationView only has a setHighlighted ( same story ), and can ShowCallout method.. Any hints if this is possible at all? Chip Coons In your mapViewController create an action method: - (void)openAnnotation:(id)annotation { //mv is the mapView [mv selectAnnotation

I would like to remove all annotations from my mapview without the blue dot of my position. When I call: [mapView removeAnnotations:mapView.annotations]; all annotations are removed. In which way can I check (like a for loop on all the annotations) if the annotation is not the blue dot annotation? EDIT (I've solved with this): for (int i =0; i < [mapView.annotations count]; i++) { if ([[mapView.annotations objectAtIndex:i] isKindOfClass:[MyAnnotationClass class]]) { [mapView removeAnnotation:[mapView.annotations objectAtIndex:i]]; } } Looking at the MKMapView documentation , it seems like you
