zhangzhebjut / moving-mkannotationview

An implementation of a moving map annotation using iOS MapKit and QuartzCore.

Moving MKAnnotationView.#

This sample iPhone project uses HGMovingAnnotation and HGMovingAnnotationView to show moving annotations on a map.

HGMovingAnnotation

This class derives from MKAnnotation and adds the capability of updating the coordinate (position) and the rotation of the annotation. In the sample project, location updates are read from an HGMapPath, which is a collection of MKMapPoints stored on file.

The current implementation of this class reads the next point on the path every second and updates the annotation's coordinate.

HGMovingAnnotationView

This class extends MKAnnotationView by animating its position and rotation on the map. It does this by observing its HGMovingAnnotation object.

iOS7 Compatible

• Updated to use XCode5 project structure, iOS7 SDK.
• Updated deployment target of sample project to iOS6. HGMovingAnnotationView + HGMovingAnnotation can be used on pre-iOS6 versions as well.
• Added capability to update and animate the rotation of the annotation view.

Minimum requirements

• iOS 4.3 or later (Sample project was originally created with Xcode 3.2.6, iOS SDK 4.3 GM Seed)
