dude, I would like to know how did ya solve the multiple annotations problem. I have stored the lat and long in an array as ["-34.343:-34.434"] format so I split the string and locate. So if I have ["-34.343:-34.434"], ["-54.343:-24.434"] ,["-31.343:-58.434"] ,["-74.343:-14.434"] . which points to multiple locations. Now how can I locate by using multiple annotations..Please reply to my email address.

Thank you So much for the tutorial.

@Rahmat
stringWithContentsOfURL: is Deprecated in OS 4.0
I Used
NSError* error; NSString* locationString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString] encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:&error];

insted of
NSString *locationString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];

Great tutorial thanks a ton. I’m kind of a new on iPhone development i was wondering if there was any way to show where the user is on the map. Like the users location is a pin as well on the map….

Thanks in advance.

This is an excellent piece of tutorials but as a newbie to xcode, I am stuck at step 4. Okay this is very stupid, how do I actually add the textfield, button and MKMapview under view?

Hi,
you have to add:

AddressAnnotation *addAnnotation;

in your header file.

And there is no else part needed. This will release the first Annotation when one was set. So you have only one Annotation.

Excellent tutorial. I would like to fold this into a multi-view application, for example using a navigation bar, but I cannot seem to get that to work right. I guess it is a bit much to ask but an addendum expanding the application in such a way would be greatly appreciated!
