Add Snazzy Drag & Drop Functionality To Mapkit In iOS 4 – Open Source
MapKit has been a great addition to the iPhone SDK since it was introduced, but for the most part is a pretty plain library, and because of that there’s even been some mapkit alternatives that have cropped up.
Ching-Lan Huang has come up with a slick and easy to use library that allows you to drag and drop a pin on a MapKit map, and neatly display the user’s location (and whatever information you want).
This is done with a very neat looking pin with a shadow and some core animation effects providing a very professional looking result. The latest version fully works with retina display sized apps so there’s no visual compromise.
You can download the source and demo project on Github here:
