I'm trying to change my pin annotation image to something other than the pin.
func mapView(mapView: MKMapView!, viewForAnnotation annotation: MKAnnotation!) -> MKAnnotationView! {
if annotation is MKUserLocation {
//return nil so map view draws "blue dot" for standard user location
return nil
}
let reuseId = "pin"
var pinView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier(reuseId) as? MKPinAnnotationView
if pinView == nil {
pinView = MKPinAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: reuseId)
pinView!.canShowCallout = true
pinView!.animatesDrop = true
pinView!.pinColor = .Green
pinView!.image = UIImage(named: "icon1.png")
// Add image to left callout
var mugIconView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "test.png"))
pinView!.leftCalloutAccessoryView = mugIconView
// Add detail button to right callout
var calloutButton = UIButton.buttonWithType(.DetailDisclosure) as UIButton
pinView!.rightCalloutAccessoryView = calloutButton
}
else {
pinView!.annotation = annotation
}
return pinView
Everything works except changing the pin image. I have a custom point annotation subclass which is this
I've been searching for hours but every other SO question I've found hasn't helped. I'd appreciate any help... thanks.

var pinView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier("pin")

You want MKAnnotationView
, not MKPinAnnotationView
. Pin annotations can't customize their image.
