What are the standard Annotations provided by the Apple iOS MapKit?

Question

In looking through all of the Apple MapKit documentation, the only "standard" annotation Views I could find were the following:

• MKAnnotationView: Base view, useful for displaying static images as annotations.
• MKPinAnnotationView: Displays a Pin as the annotation for a point on the map.

Are there any other standard Annotation Views that Apple provides? Do they provide one with just a dot? Or a Dot with text?

Answer 1

Those are the only two provided by Apple. You can, of course, create your own. See the documentation:

Defining a Custom Annotation View

If a static image is insufficient for representing your annotation, you can subclass MKAnnotationView and draw content dynamically in one of the following two ways:

• Continue to use the image property of MKAnnotationView, but change the image at regular intervals.
• Override the annotation view’s drawRect: method and draw your content dynamically every time.
