I am trying to plot a point in the mapview.
I have created two files
1. A file which extends nsobject, and,
2. A file which extends views.
Here is source code for both the files:
#import "gpMapViewAnnotations.h"
@implementation gpMapViewAnnotations
@synthesize title, coordinate;
- (id)initWithTitle:(NSString *)ttl andCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)c2d {
title = ttl;
coordinate = c2d;
return self;
}
this is the code for interface file.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
@interface gpMapViewAnnotations : NSObject <MKAnnotation>{
NSString *title;
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
}
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *title;
@property (nonatomic, readonly) CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
- (id)initWithTitle:(NSString *)ttl andCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)c2d;
@end
@end
Now this is the source code for view files:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <MapKit/Mapkit.h>
#import "ASIHTTPRequestDelegate.h"
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "gpMapViewAnnotations.h"
@interface gpViewController : UIViewController
< ASIHTTPRequestDelegate, MKMapViewDelegate>
{
MKMapView *gpMapView;
gpMapViewAnnotations *gpAnnotations;
}
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet MKMapView *gpMapView;
@end
And here is the implementation file:
#import "gpViewController.h"
#import "ASIHTTPRequest.h"
#import "Parser.h"
#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "TFHpple.h"
#import "TouchXML.h"
#import "gpMapViewAnnotations.h"
@interface gpViewController ()
@end
@implementation gpViewController
@synthesize gpMapView;

return self;

{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.

CLLocationCoordinate2D location;
location.latitude = (double) 51.501468;
location.longitude = (double) -0.141596;

[gpMapView addAnnotation:newAnnotation];

I dont have a clue as where i am doing wrong in plotting a simple point. i still need to put multiple points using the array which i have created reading the xml file. but even a simple point is not getting plotted now.
Is there anything which I am doing wrong over here please?
I can’t see your
mapView:viewForAnnotation:delegate method. That’s where you can add the view to go along with annotations. Something like this:
