Using MKAnnotationView without MKMapView?

Question

I'm wondering if it's possible to use the MKAnnotationView inside a UIView other than MKMapView? I'm trying to find an alternative to using the undocumented UICalloutView class. I can create the MKAnnotationView and add it to my view, but I can't get it to show.

Answer 1

This is a work-alike CalloutView implemented in MonoTouch, if someone creates an Obj-C version, let me know.

Answer 2

Check out the open-source SMCalloutView, which is a near-exact replica of UICalloutView:

Answer 3

To anyone interested:

I ported the code of Ed Anuff to Objective C. The source is complete with an Example. You can download it here.

Maybe Ed can check it (I hope I did not do too many mistakes) and add it to his git repository.
