Chapter 16. Where Are We?

We have all used a map at some point in our lives, either an actual map or a map on our phone or another device. Apple Maps has come a long way from when it was first announced in 2012. Apple has made steady improvements to Apple Maps every year.

During this chapter, we will display our restaurant list using a map and custom pins. When users tap a pin on the map, they will be taken directly to the restaurant detail page that we created in the last chapter.

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • What annotations are and how to add them to a map
  • How to create custom annotations
  • How to create a storyboard reference
