@EO2 it should be like if ((self = [super init])) since we're checking if the assigned worked not if it actually equal.

Thanks for the quick update :)

Thanks, very useful shortcut through some tedious programming. Found from WLSimpleMapAnnotation. Note that I believe you can remove _dealloc and autorelease calls for new ARC compiler.
