Limit a double to two decimal places without trailing zeros

I read this and that. I want this exactly: 1.4324 => "1.43" 9.4000 => "9.4" 43.000 => "43" 9.4 => "9.40" (wrong) 43.000 => "43.00" (wrong) In both questions the answers points to NSNumberFormatter.

The question is if insertSubview is retaining the views and if I'm doing it right. I would say yes. Since I'm not using the property anymore I don't receive an EXC_BAD_ACCESS. I think when releasing the view all subviews are also released. And so mapView is over-released. I'm right or do I still have a memory management issue? My ViewC...

UIPanGestureRecognizer on a view inside of a scroll view works only sporadically when scroll view is zoomed in far

I have a UIPanGestureRecognizer on a view inside of a UIScrollView. Its function is to move its parent view around when panned. This works perfectly well at 1x and 2x zoom resolutions in the scroll view, but zooming in farther causes them to fail quite often - yet not always. There is also a long press & double tap recognizer on the sam...
