How to delete all Annotations on a MKMapView

Question

Is there a simple way to delete all the annotations on a map without iterating through all the displayed annotations in Objective-c?

Answer 1

Yes, here is how

[mapView removeAnnotations:mapView.annotations]

Answer 2

Here's how to remove all annotations except the user location, written out explicitly because I imagine I will come looking for this answer again:

NSMutableArray *locs = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (id <MKAnnotation> annot in [mapView annotations])
{
    if ( [annot isKindOfClass:[ MKUserLocation class]] ) {
    }
    else {
        [locs addObject:annot];
    }
}
[mapView removeAnnotations:locs];
[locs release];
locs = nil;
