How to add a Map annotation on MKMapView?

Question

Hey, im trying to add an annotation on my map. How can i do it?

Heres my code:

- (void)abreMapa:(NSString *)endereco {

NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=%@&output=csv", 
                       [endereco stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
NSString *locationString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
NSArray *listItems = [locationString componentsSeparatedByString:@","];

double latitude = 0.0;
double longitude = 0.0;

if([listItems count] >= 4 && [[listItems objectAtIndex:0] isEqualToString:@"200"]) {
    latitude = [[listItems objectAtIndex:2] doubleValue];
    longitude = [[listItems objectAtIndex:3] doubleValue];
}
else {
    //Show error
}

CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
coordinate.latitude = latitude;
coordinate.longitude = longitude;
myMap.region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(coordinate, 2000, 2000);

[self.view addSubview:mapa];


 }

Thanks!

Since MKAnnotation is a protocol, you'll have to define your own class that implements the protocol. For example,

@interface SPAnnotation : NSObject <MKAnnotation> {
    CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
}

@property (nonatomic, readonly) CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;

- (id)initWithCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate;

If you have a latitude, longitude for the location you'd like to map:

SPAnnotation *annotation = [[Annotation alloc] initWithCoordinate:CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(latitude, longitude)];
[myMap addAnnotation:annotation];
