Thumbnail Based MapView Annotation

JPSThumbnailAnnotation is an open-source library to customize your MapKit annotation view for displaying image thumbnails along with title and subtitle.  Here is a quick screenshot from my sample project using this library.

Setup

Its free, and open source; You need to download JPSThumbnailAnnotation library from github and drag/drop the directory into your project; You will have following six files in library;

1. JPSThumbnail.h
2. JPSThumbnailAnnotation.h
3. JPSThumbnailAnnotation.m
4. JPSThumbnailAnnotationView.h
5. JPSThumbnailAnnotationView.m
6. JPSThumnail.m

Usage

import JPSThumbnailAnnotation.h and add the following line of code to add one annotation on your map view

[code]

JPSThumbnail *faisaMosqueAnnotation = [[JPSThumbnail alloc] init];
faisaMosqueAnnotation.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"faisalMasjid.jpg"];
faisaMosqueAnnotation.title = kFaisalMasjidTitle;
faisaMosqueAnnotation.subtitle = kFaisalMasjidSubTitle;
faisaMosqueAnnotation.coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(33.72976, 73.03698);
faisaMosqueAnnotation.disclosureBlock = ^{ NSLog(@"Faisal Mosque selected"); };
JPSThumbnailAnnotation *annotation = [[JPSThumbnailAnnotation alloc] initWithThumbnail:faisaMosqueAnnotation];
[mapView addAnnotation:annotation];

[/code]

You are good to go now .. You can download a sample project from here.

Happy Programming .. (:
