A practical guide. MKOverlay mapping to MKMapView

Question

I need to display MKOverlay on a map, but cannot make it actually display.

I am following Apple 's example Location Programming Guide and overlay will not be displayed. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is the first iPhone app I made, so I might be missing out on something simple.

NavViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>

@interface NavViewController : UIViewController <MKMapViewDelegate> {
}
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet MKMapView *mapView;

@end

NavViewController.m

#import "MSUNavViewController.h"
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>

- (MKOverlayView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForOverlay:(id <MKOverlay>)overlay
{
    if ([overlay isKindOfClass:[MKPolygon class]])
    {
        MKPolygonView* aView = [[MKPolygonView alloc] initWithPolygon:(MKPolygon*)overlay];

        aView.fillColor = [[UIColor cyanColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.2];
        aView.strokeColor = [[UIColor blueColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.7];
        aView.lineWidth = 3;

        return aView;
    }
    return nil;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // Define an overlay that covers Colorado.
    CLLocationCoordinate2D  points[4];

    points[0] = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(41.000512, -109.050116);
    points[1] = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(41.002371, -102.052066);
    points[2] = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(36.993076, -102.041981);
    points[3] = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(36.99892, -109.045267);

    MKPolygon* poly = [MKPolygon polygonWithCoordinates:points count:4];
    poly.title = @"Colorado";

    [_mapView addOverlay:poly];
}

Any suggestions on coding are welcome. Thank!

Be sure to install mapView delegatein an instance of the view controller (perhaps File ownerin this case).

View Controller .

, aView - (MKOverlayView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForOverlay:(id <MKOverlay>)overlay return nil; else .

- (MKOverlayView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForOverlay:(id <MKOverlay>)overlay
{
    if ([overlay isKindOfClass:[MKPolygon class]])
    {
        MKPolygonView* aView = [[MKPolygonView alloc] initWithPolygon:(MKPolygon*)overlay];

        aView.fillColor = [[UIColor cyanColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.2];
        aView.strokeColor = [[UIColor blueColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.7];
        aView.lineWidth = 3;

        return aView;
    }
    else return nil;
}

Have you solved your problem? Just drag from the circle next to the delegate (in your screenshot) to the circle, which is the class name. The inspector has a setting that allows you to display where you also ...? You needed to center the map in say viewDidLoad so that it displayed above Colorado ..
