Question

I am able to place a single annotation on MKMapView using the following code:

[self.geocoder geocodeAddressString:value completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
                if ([placemarks count] > i) {
                    CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
                    location = placemark.location;
                    coordinate = location.coordinate;
                    coordinate.latitude = location.coordinate.latitude;
                    coordinate.longitude = location.coordinate.longitude;


                    MKCoordinateRegion newRegion;
                    newRegion.center.latitude = coordinate.latitude;
                    newRegion.center.longitude = coordinate.longitude;
                    newRegion.span.latitudeDelta = 0.029321;
                    newRegion.span.longitudeDelta = 0.034589;
                    //newRegion.span.latitudeDelta = 0.579321;
                    //newRegion.span.longitudeDelta = 1.234589;
                    MKPointAnnotation *annotation = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
                    [annotation setCoordinate:coordinate];
                    //  AppDelegate *dataCenter = (AppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
                    NSArray *web = [detail valueForKeyPath:@"Name"];
                    NSString *value = [web objectAtIndex:0];
                    [annotation setTitle:value];


                }
            }];

Were value is the address that I pass.

But now, I want to use the same code (probably in a) for loop so, that I can geocode all the values of address obtained in an array from mysql database. Please guide me how to do
so

UPDATE:

I get the values from my sql database in an array.

 $count = [web count];

    for (int i=0; i< count ; i++) {
            NSString *value = [web objectAtIndex:i];
            [self.geocoder geocodeAddressString:value completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
                if ([placemarks count] > i) {
                    CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
                    location = placemark.location;
                    coordinate = location.coordinate;
                    coordinate.latitude = location.coordinate.latitude;
                    coordinate.longitude = location.coordinate.longitude;


                    MKCoordinateRegion newRegion;
                    newRegion.center.latitude = coordinate.latitude;
                    newRegion.center.longitude = coordinate.longitude;
                    newRegion.span.latitudeDelta = 0.029321;
                    newRegion.span.longitudeDelta = 0.034589;
                    //newRegion.span.latitudeDelta = 0.579321;
                    //newRegion.span.longitudeDelta = 1.234589;
                    MKPointAnnotation *annotation = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
                    [annotation setCoordinate:coordinate];
                    //  AppDelegate *dataCenter = (AppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
                    NSArray *web = [detail valueForKeyPath:@"Name"];
                    NSString *value = [web objectAtIndex:0];
                    [annotation setTitle:value];


                }
            }];
}

COMPLETE METHOD::

    self.geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
}

NSLog(@"Opening: %@", dataCenter.data);
[self setTitle:@"Map"];

NSString *address = dataCenter.data;

[self.geocoder geocodeAddressString:address completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
    if ([placemarks count] > 0) {
        CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
        location = placemark.location;
        coordinate = location.coordinate;
        coordinate.latitude = location.coordinate.latitude;
        coordinate.longitude = location.coordinate.longitude;

        //for first co-ordinate :: SOURCE
        MKCoordinateRegion newRegion;
        newRegion.center.latitude = coordinate.latitude;
        newRegion.center.longitude = coordinate.longitude;
        newRegion.span.latitudeDelta = 0.029321;
        newRegion.span.longitudeDelta = 0.034589;

        MKPointAnnotation *annotation = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
        [annotation setCoordinate:coordinate];
         AppDelegate *dataCenter = (AppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
        [annotation setTitle:dataCenter.hotelname];
        [self.mapView addAnnotation:annotation];

        //second annotation for SDSU :: DESTINATION
       location2 = placemark.location;
        coordinate2 = location.coordinate;
        coordinate2.latitude = 32.774774;
        coordinate2.longitude = -117.072262;

        MKCoordinateRegion collRegion;
        collRegion.center.latitude = 32.774774;
        collRegion.center.longitude = -117.072262;
        collRegion.span.latitudeDelta = 0.029321;

        NSArray *web = [detail valueForKeyPath:@"Address"];
        NSLog(@"NO OF VALUES:: %@", web);
        int count = [web count];

        //Other place of interest nearby
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
        {
            NSString *value = [web objectAtIndex:i];
            [self.geocoder geocodeAddressString:value completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
                if ([placemarks count] > 0) {
                    CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
                    location = placemark.location;
                    coordinate = location.coordinate;
                    coordinate.latitude = location.coordinate.latitude;
                    coordinate.longitude = location.coordinate.longitude;


                    MKCoordinateRegion newRegion;
                    newRegion.center.latitude = coordinate.latitude;
                    newRegion.center.longitude = coordinate.longitude;
                    newRegion.span.latitudeDelta = 0.029321;
                    newRegion.span.longitudeDelta = 0.034589;
                    MKPointAnnotation *annotation = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
                    [annotation setCoordinate:coordinate];
                    [annotation setTitle:value];
                    [self.mapView addAnnotation:annotation];
                    [self.mapView setRegion:collRegion animated:YES];

                }
            }];
        }
    }
 }];

}

The block inside the for loop executes only once! 🙁
Not sure, but is it because the block variable is not getting updated?

Problem solved:

MKCoordinateRegion newRegion;
newRegion.center.latitude = [[[detail valueForKey:@"Latitude"] objectAtIndex:i] doubleValue];
newRegion.center.longitude = [[[detail valueForKey:@"Longitude"] objectAtIndex:i] doubleValue];

where :

NSDictionary *detail;

So basically, [ doubleValue];
