Grouping Annotation Pins on the Same Coordinate - ios

i have many annotations on my map, How can i grouping Annotation Pins on the Same Coordinate?, i found this but i down't know how can i use that

I think do you mean use something like a cluster on your map for grouping the pins, isn't it?
I used sometime REVClusterMap:
https://github.com/RVLVR/REVClusterMap
Is very useful to avoid to show many points on the map. With that, you show groups of annotations (the clusters) when you are far on the map, and when you zoom in, the points are appearing.
You only have to define your map like this:
REVClusterMapView *mapView;
mapView = [[REVClusterMapView alloc] initWithFrame:viewBounds];
And when you have to add and define the annotations, it will be like this:
NSMutableArray *pins = [NSMutableArray array];
for(int i=0;i<50;i++) {
...
CLLocationCoordinate2D newCoord = {lat+latDelta, lng+lonDelta};
REVClusterPin *pin = [[REVClusterPin alloc] init];
pin.title = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Pin %i",i+1];;
pin.subtitle = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Pin %i subtitle",i+1];
pin.coordinate = newCoord;
[pins addObject:pin];
[pin release];
}
[mapView addAnnotations:pins];
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mV viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
...
REVClusterPin *pin = (REVClusterPin *)annotation;
MKAnnotationView *annView;
if( [pin nodeCount] > 0 ) { //cluster
pin.title = #"___";
annView = (REVClusterAnnotationView*)
[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#"cluster"];
if( !annView )
annView = (REVClusterAnnotationView*)
[[REVClusterAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation
reuseIdentifier:#"cluster"];
annView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cluster.png"];
[(REVClusterAnnotationView*)annView setClusterText:
[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%i",[pin nodeCount]]];
annView.canShowCallout = NO;
}
else { //show your code for a single annotation
...
}
I hope it will be useful :)

Have your ADClusterMapView? It works really well for us.

Unwanted annotation in map ios

I am trying to annotate some locations in map using MapBox. and its done.
But the problem is some other annotations are seen in map without any reference, i.e we cant click on it and when i zoom in/zoom out it disappears.
Am only try to create two annotations including user location.
How this happen?
is it because any reusing of annotation?
Some code snippets used:
1) creating annotation in loop
MGLPointAnnotation *point = [[MGLPointAnnotation alloc] init];
point.coordinate = coordinate;
point.title = location;
NSString *altString =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",mIsNSDictionary(response)?[response objectForKey:kKeyAlt]:response];
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:kKeyLocationLatLonNAltInBaidu,coordinate.latitude,coordinate.longitude,[altString floatValue]];
point.subtitle = str;
[self.arrayAnnotations addObject:point];
[self.mapView addAnnotation:point];
Note: self.arrayAnnotations contains only 2 points
2) Delegate method for annotation
-(MGLAnnotationImage *)mapView:(MGLMapView *)mapView imageForAnnotation:(id <MGLAnnotation>)annotation {
if([annotation isKindOfClass:[MGLPointAnnotation class]] && [self.arrayAnnotations containsObject:annotation]) {
NSString *reuseIdentifier = [self makeIdentifierString:annotation];
MGLAnnotationImage *annotationImage = [mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationImageWithIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (!annotationImage) {
annotationImage = [MGLAnnotationImage annotationImageWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:kImageNameMarker] reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
}
return annotationImage;
}
return nil;
}

How to show different image on all the annotation pins on map?

I have two locations, one starting point and another end point, on these two points i want to add two different pin annotation
this is my code, the problem is i m getting the same image on both the locations
location is <+47.45025000,-122.30881700>
and location1 is <+47.62212000,-122.35410000>
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapViewer viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation{
static NSString *mapIdentifier=#"mapIdentifier";
MKAnnotationView *myAnnotation=[mapViewer dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:mapIdentifier];
CLLocationCoordinate2D parkCllocation=CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([_tripDetails[#"park_lat"] doubleValue], [_tripDetails[#"park_long"] doubleValue]);
MKPointAnnotation *jauntAnnotationPark =[[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
// jauntAnnotationPark.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"pinks.jpg"];
jauntAnnotationPark.coordinate=parkCllocation;
CLLocationCoordinate2D orginCllocation=CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([_tripDetails[#"origin_lat"] doubleValue], [_tripDetails[#"origin_long"] doubleValue]);
MKPointAnnotation *jauntAnnotationOrgin =[[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
jauntAnnotationOrgin.coordinate=orginCllocation;
CLLocation *location = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:[_tripDetails[#"origin_lat"] doubleValue] longitude:[_tripDetails[#"origin_long"] doubleValue]];
CLLocation *location1 = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:[_tripDetails[#"park_lat"] doubleValue] longitude:[_tripDetails[#"park_long"] doubleValue]];
myAnnotation = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:mapIdentifier];
check=[[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithObjects:location,location1, nil];
for (NSString *location in check)
{
int i;
myAnnotation.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"pin7#2x.png"];
}
if (!myAnnotation) {
myAnnotation = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:mapIdentifier];
}
else {
myAnnotation.annotation=annotation;
}
return myAnnotation;
}
Your code only sets one image - pin7 and your code also contains a lot of redundancy; you dequeue an annotation view into myAnnotation then alloc/init a new one then later you check if it is nil which it won't be because you just alloc/inited one.
Your check array contains CLLocation objects but you iterate the array into an NSString reference - and then don't do anything with the value anyway.
You can use this code to dequeue a view, allocate a new one if it can't be dequeued and then set the appropriate image; This code assumes that there are only two annotations and if it isn't the origin then it must be the end. If there are more than these two annotations then you need modify the code to account for that.
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapViewer viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation{
static NSString *mapIdentifier=#"mapIdentifier";
MKAnnotationView *myAnnotation=[mapViewer dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:mapIdentifier];
if (myAnnotation == nil) {
myAnnotation = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:mapIdentifier];
}
CLLocationCoordinate2D originCllocation=CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([_tripDetails[#"origin_lat"] doubleValue], [_tripDetails[#"origin_long"] doubleValue]);
if (originCllocation.latitude==annotation.coordinate.latitude && originCllocation.longitude==annotation.coordinate.longitude) {
myAnnotation.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"startPin.png"];
} else {
myAnnotation.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"endPin.png"];
}
return myAnnotation;
}
loop through the latitude and longitude values of your annotation coordinates.
and implement checks in view for annotation
for(int i=0; i <latArray.count; i++)
{
//annotation.coordinate.latitude
//annotation.coordinate.longitude
//compare your latitude and longitude values and change the image accordingly.
}
yup you can do it by putting condition also.
-(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapViewer viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
if (annotation.title.isEqualToString(#"Source"))
{
myAnnotation.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"startPin.png"];
} else {
myAnnotation.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"endPin.png"];
}

Drop Pin in MapView using Custom Addresses

I created a map view in my app. Now I want the user to be able to add several addresses to drop pins at those locations. I also want the user to be able to remove these pins.
Does anyone know where I can find a good tutorial, or where to start? I have no experience with mapviews...
try this......
-
(void)ShowPins
{
activity.hidden=YES;
[activity stopAnimating];
double lat;
double lng;
for (int ijk=0; ijk<arrayLocationList.count; ijk++)
{
/*Set your lat and long here*/
lat=[[[[arrayLocationList objectAtIndex:ijk]objectForKey:#"location"] objectForKey:#"lat"] doubleValue];
lng=[[[[arrayLocationList objectAtIndex:ijk]objectForKey:#"location"] objectForKey:#"lng"] doubleValue];
CLLocationCoordinate2D geos = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(lat, lng);
MKPlacemark* marker = [[MKPlacemark alloc] initWithCoordinate:geos addressDictionary:nil];
[mapVieww addAnnotation:marker];
}
CLLocationCoordinate2D coord1 = {.latitude = lat, .longitude =lng};
MKCoordinateSpan span = {.latitudeDelta = .03,.longitudeDelta = .03};
MKCoordinateRegion region = {coord1, span};
[mapVieww setRegion:region];
}
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation;
{
MKPinAnnotationView *newAnnotation = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"annotation1"];
UILabel *lable=[[UILabel alloc]init];
[newAnnotation addSubview:lable];
newAnnotation.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
newAnnotation.animatesDrop = YES;
newAnnotation.canShowCallout = NO;
[newAnnotation setSelected:YES animated:YES];
return newAnnotation;
}
To Drop pins at several locations u have to try this code:
You need to put all those location latitude and longitude in an array and call this function everytime after incrementing the num value
-(void)Mapview
{ NSMutableArray* annotations=[[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
CLLocationCoordinate2D theCoordinate1;
theCoordinate1.latitude = [latit[num]doubleValue];
theCoordinate1.longitude = [longit[num]doubleValue];
Annotation* myAnnotation1=[[Annotation alloc] init];
myAnnotation1.coordinate=theCoordinate1;
[map_view addAnnotation:myAnnotation1];
map_view.showsUserLocation = NO;
[annotations addObject:myAnnotation1];
MKMapRect rect = MKMapRectNull;
for (id <MKAnnotation> annotation in annotations) {
MKMapPoint annotationPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(annotation.coordinate);
MKMapRect pointRect = MKMapRectMake(annotationPoint.x, annotationPoint.y, 0, 20);
if (MKMapRectIsNull(rect)) {
rect = pointRect;
} else {
rect = MKMapRectUnion(rect, pointRect);
}
}
map_view.visibleMapRect = rect;
}
You can edit this code by adding leftcallout acessoryview or modify the contents in callout view .
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation{
map_view.showsUserLocation= NO;
// if it's the user location, just return nil.
if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]])
return nil;
MKPinAnnotationView* pinView = (MKPinAnnotationView*)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:#"AnnotationIdentifier"];
if(pinView == nil)
{
pinView = pinView=[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc]
initWithAnnotation:annotation
reuseIdentifier:#"currentloc"] ;
pinView.centerOffset = CGPointMake(0,60);
pinView.animatesDrop=YES;
pinView.canShowCallout=YES;
}
return pinView;
}
To Remove the pins you can use this code
[self.map_view removeAnnotations:map_view.annotations];
(or)
[self.map_view removeAnnotations: [self.map_view.annotations filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:#"!(self isKindOfClass: %#)", [MKUserLocation class]]]];

Plot two different color of mapview pin

I'm trying to display mapview with an array of coordinates. So, i load the latitudes and longitudes from array where those are contains. It is showing perfectly. Now, i want to display one paritcular latitude & longitude with different color pin. I've referred this answer no such different i can't see.
ViewController.m
-(void)showMap:
{
...
...
DataProvider *d = [DataProvider getInstance];
NSInteger numb = sender.view.tag;
d.colorlatitude = [[arraxy objectAtIndex:numb] objectForKey:#"lat"];
d.colorlongitude = [[arraxy objectAtIndex:numb] objectForKey:#"lng"];
[d._address removeAllObjects];
[arraxy removeObjectAtIndex:sender.view.tag];
d._address = arraxy;
MapViewController *map = [[MapViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"MapViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:map animated:YES];
}
MapViewController.m
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
DataProvider *d = [DataProvider getInstance];
[_mapView removeAnnotations:_mapView.annotations];
RegisterViewController *appDelegate = [[RegisterViewController alloc]init];
[_mapView setShowsUserLocation:YES];
[_mapView setRegion:MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance([appDelegate.locationManager location].coordinate, 1000, 1000)];
[_mapView setUserTrackingMode:MKUserTrackingModeNone];
MKCoordinateRegion rregion = {{0.0,0.0},{0.0,0.0}};
rregion.center.latitude = [d.colorlatitude floatValue];
rregion.center.longitude = [d.colorlongitude floatValue];
rregion.span.latitudeDelta=0.001f;
rregion.span.longitudeDelta=0.001f;
[_mapView setRegion:rregion];
MapviewAnnotations *add = [[MapviewAnnotations alloc]init];
add.coordinate = rregion.center;
[_mapView addAnnotation:add];
if (d._address)
{
for (int i=0; i<[d._address count]; i++)
{
NSDictionary *dic=[d._address objectAtIndex:i];
MKCoordinateRegion region={{0.0,0.0},{0.0,0.0}};
region.center.latitude=[[dic objectForKey:#"lat"]floatValue];
region.center.longitude=[[dic objectForKey:#"lng"]floatValue];
region.span.latitudeDelta=0.001f;
region.span.longitudeDelta=0.001f;
[_mapView setRegion:region];
MapviewAnnotations *ann=[[MapviewAnnotations alloc]init];
ann.coordinate=region.center;
[_mapView addAnnotation:ann];
}
}
[super viewWillAppear:YES];
}
and my MKMapView's delegate method is
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
if (![annotation isKindOfClass:[MapviewAnnotations class]])
{
return nil;
}
static NSString *reuseId = #"currentloc";
MKPinAnnotationView *annView = (MKPinAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:reuseId];
if (annView == nil)
{
annView = [[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:reuseId];
annView.animatesDrop = NO;
annView.canShowCallout = YES;
annView.calloutOffset = CGPointMake(-5, 5);
}
else
{
annView.annotation = annotation;
}
DataProvider *mvAnn = [DataProvider getInstance];
if (mvAnn.colorlatitude) // here i'm checking the condition.
{
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
}
else
{
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
}
return annView;
}
I'm just writting the condition if the co-ordinate is there i've to plot the green color pin to that particular coordinate only. How to achieve this?
The difference between your code and the one Hinata has referred you to is that the if statement in the other code uses a value (yesno) on the annotation it is currently drawing to decide what colour to use. You are getting a value from DataProvider but not telling it which annotation you are drawing, so the instance it gives you is just what ever the instance method feels like returning at the time the map is asking for the pin. You need to tell it what you're drawing for it to decide what to put into colorlatitude
I've done this through some flags like below inside of my - (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation
MapviewAnnotations *mvAnn = (MapviewAnnotations *)annotation;
if (mvAnn.flag == 1)
{
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorGreen;
}
else if (mvAnn.flag == 10)
{
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorPurple;
}
else
{
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
}
In my viewWillAppear i received the coordinates from DataProvider and assigned with separate MapviewAnnotations with flags and differentiate it with three type of pins simply.
Cheers!

MKMapView shows same title for multiple MKPlacemarks

I have a mkmapview that I'm dropping several placemark pins on, however I've not been able to get the pins to show the correct title on the callouts, seems to randomly show a title from the collection of pins on the map. Any ideas? Code looks like:
(void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[mapView setDelegate:self];
CLLocationCoordinate2D geos = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([putInLat doubleValue], [putInLong doubleValue]);
aMarker = [[RNPlaceMark alloc] initWithCoordinate:geos Title:#"Location A"];
CLLocationCoordinate2D geos2 = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([takeOutLat doubleValue], [takeOutLong doubleValue]);
bMarker = [[RNPlaceMark alloc] initWithCoordinate:geos2 Title:#"Location B"];
NSArray *annots = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:putInMarker, takeOutMarker, nil];
[mapView addAnnotations:annots];
}
and
(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)aMapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation {
NSString *title = annotation.title;
MKPinAnnotationView *pinView=(MKPinAnnotationView *)[aMapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:title];
if(pinView==nil)
pinView=[[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc]initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:title] autorelease];
if(annotation == aMarker)
[pinView setPinColor:MKPinAnnotationColorGreen];
else if(annotation == bMarker)
[pinView setPinColor:MKPinAnnotationColorRed];
pinView.canShowCallout=YES;
pinView.animatesDrop=YES;
return pinView;
}
I switched the code to use MKPointAnnotation it worked fine, so now it looks like...
I'm executing the following code in my viewDidLoad method on the view that host the UIMapVIew:
MKPointAnnotation *myMarker = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
[myMarker setTitle:#"Hello World"];
CLLocationCoordinate2D geos = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake([myMarkerLat doubleValue], [myMarkerLong doubleValue]);
[myMarker setCoordinate:geos];
NSArray *annots = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:myMarker, nil];
[mapView addAnnotations:annots];
then I have...
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)aMapView viewForAnnotation:(id
<MKAnnotation>)annotation
{
NSString *title = annotation.title;
MKPinAnnotationView *pinView=(MKPinAnnotationView *)[aMapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:title];
if(pinView==nil)
pinView=[[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc]initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:title] autorelease];
//If you want to change the color of the pin you can with something like...
//if(annotation == whatEverInstanceOfAMarkerIWantToKeep)
// [pinView setPinColor:MKPinAnnotationColorGreen];
pinView.canShowCallout=YES;
pinView.animatesDrop=YES;
return pinView;
}
