MKPointAnnotation add extra property

Question

Is it possible to add an extra property to MKPointAnnotation? At the moment there is coordinate, title, and subtitle.

Is it possible to add a url property which can be accessed within -(MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation{ }, just like I can access[annotation title];?

Just make an MKPointAnnotation subclass.

Delete all the methods out of the .m file, and add this to your .h file:

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSURL *url;

@JoshBoothe I think [this](http://rypress.com/tutorials/objective-c/classes.html) might be a good read for you. – Undo May 24 '13 at 15:06
thanks for that, looking at it, I need the `MKPinAnnotationView` not `MKPointAnnotation` though? – Josh Boothe May 24 '13 at 15:17
@JoshBoothe Whatever you want placed on your map is what you want to subclass. – Undo May 24 '13 at 15:18
