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 are annotations and how to add them to a map?
How to create custom annotations?
Learn how to create a Storyboard reference
Before we start working with our Map, we need to create two folders inside of our Map
folder. Right-click on the Map
folder in the Navigator panel and create two new groups: Controller and Model. Then, add the assets for this chapter, which can be found in the project folder for this chapter, by dragging and dropping them into this new Model
folder.
