Map View Demo2.py
# coding: utf-8
'''
NOTE: This requires Pythonista 3
Demo of a custom ui.View subclass that embeds a native map view using MapKit (via objc_util). Tap and hold the map to drop a pin.
The MapView class is designed to be reusable, but it doesn't implement *everything* you might need. I hope that the existing methods give you a basic idea of how to add new capabilities though. For reference, here's Apple's documentation about the underlying MKMapView class: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MapKit/reference/MKMapView_Class/index.html

# _map_delegate_cache is used to get a reference to the MapView from the (Objective-C) delegate callback. The keys are memory addresses of `OMMapViewDelegate` (Obj-C) objects, the values are `ObjCInstance` (Python) objects. This mapping is necessary because `ObjCInstance` doesn't guarantee that you get the same object every time when you instantiate it with a pointer (this may change in future betas). MapView stores a weak reference to itself in the specific `ObjCInstance` that it creates for its delegate.
