mapView:viewForOverlay: not getting called

Question

I have a view controller for my Map View. Inside the viewDidLoad method, I'm setting the mapview's delegate to the controller (self) and then I'm adding the MKOverlay object. But my mapView:viewForOverlay: method is not getting called, so I still can't get anything to display on my map.

Thanks

Chances are you haven't set up the coordinate or boundingMapRect properties on the MKOverlay correctly. The MapView will only ask for the view if it thinks there is a possibility that it is visible, if its visible rect doesn't intersect the boundMapRect, it won't.
