This is AWESOME. I’ve been trying to add an image on top of the marker which wasn’t working – until I found this. Thanks for sharing the code. It works perfectly

I was able to get this working in iOS4 by commenting out the notNear stuff and setting canShowCallout to NO:

//CGPoint notNear = CGPointMake(10000.0,10000.0);
//annView.calloutOffset = notNear;

…

[annotationView setCanShowCallout:NO];

I think so. Will try to post tomorrow. Only thing I have not fixed is the leaking of observationinfo.

I love your solution for this, elegant and cunning.

Really disappointed about the news that it’s not working on OS 4 beta, though. I guessed that might happen (Apple often does things like this – if you’ve got something visible, sooner or later they “helpfully” change the system behaviour to show it).

Did you find a new solution (version 3 of this fix, I guess ) ?

Have you any idea of a way of releasing the observationInfo so that it does not leak when an annotation is removed?

Much thanks for the sample code.

I think I have found a solution working for iPhoneOS 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 4.0. Both iPad and iPhone. Will try to make new post in a couple of days.

I did not know that. Have to take a look at it.

There seems to be a problem with your solution on iPhoneOS3 simulator (and therefore most likely on the iPhoneOS3 device, though I haven’t checked): If the annotation is held for around a second or two, it zooms to the location of the callout bubble (which in your example is quite far away!) Do you have any ideas on how to remedy this issue?
