How do I add custom pins to the iPhone MapKit?

I'm testing out the MapKit framework on the iPhone and would really much like to switch the standard pin that displays a location to an image called "location.png".

How can I modify my code to allow that?

Maincontroller

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    //
    // Set the map center
    //
    CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
    coordinate.latitude = 49.2802;
    coordinate.longitude = -123.1182;
    mapView.region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(coordinate, 2000, 2000);

    //
    // Set 10 random locations on the ma开发者_如何学运维p for testing purposes
    //
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
        CGFloat latDelta = rand()*.035/RAND_MAX -.02;
        CGFloat longDelta = rand()*.03/RAND_MAX -.015;

        CLLocationCoordinate2D newCoord = { coordinate.latitude + latDelta, coordinate.longitude + longDelta };
        MapAnnotation* annotation = [[MapAnnotation alloc] initWithCoordinate:newCoord];
        [mapView addAnnotation:annotation];
        [annotation release];
    }

    [mapView setDelegate:self];
}

MapAnnotation.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>

@interface MapAnnotation : NSObject <MKAnnotation> {
    CLLocationCoordinate2D _coordinate;
}

- (id)initWithCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate;

@end

MapAnnotation.m

#import "MapAnnotation.h"

@implementation MapAnnotation
@synthesize coordinate = _coordinate;

- (id)initWithCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate
{
    self = [super init];

    if (self != nil)
    {
        _coordinate = coordinate;
    }

    return self;
}

@end

Thank you!

I solved it after looking at the source for MapCallouts

Here is my solution:

- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)map viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
    static NSString *AnnotationViewID = @"annotationViewID";

    MKAnnotationView *annotationView = (MKAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:AnnotationViewID];

    if (annotationView == nil)
    {
        annotationView = [[[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:AnnotationViewID] autorelease];
    }

    annotationView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"location.png"];
    annotationView.annotation = annotation;

    return annotationView;
}

use This code

PlacePin.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>

@interface PlacePin : NSObject<MKAnnotation> {
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate; 
NSString *title; 
NSString *subtitle;
int nTag;
}

@property (nonatomic, readonly) CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate;
@property (nonatomic,copy) NSString *title; 
@property (nonatomic,copy) NSString *subtitle;
@property (nonatomic) int nTag;

- (id)initWithLocation:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coord;

@end

PlacePin.m

#import "PlacePin.h"
@implementation PlacePin

@synthesize coordinate,title,subtitle;
@synthesize nTag;

- (id)initWithLocation:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coord{   

self = [super init];    
if (self) {         
    coordinate = coord;     
}
return self;    
}

-(void)dealloc{
[title release];
[subtitle release];
[super dealloc];
}

Check out the MapCallouts sample code, there's a custom pin using an image in there.

http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/MapCallouts/Introduction/Intro.html

Note that if you're testing on OS 3.0 you'll need to comment out one line of code (it won't build until you do that).

in.h file:
float address_latitude;
float address_longitude;

- (void)viewDidLoad
{

    CLLocationCoordinate2D coord1 =          CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(address_latitude,address_longitude);
    MKCoordinateSpan span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.0, 0.0);
    MKCoordinateRegion region1 = {coord1, span};
    MKPointAnnotation *annotation1 = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
    [annotation1 setTitle:@"Driver"];
    [annotation1 setCoordinate:coord1];
    [_map setRegion:region1];
    [_map addAnnotation:annotation1];

    }
