MY Problem is that i connected connection with the delegate but it is not interrupting its delegate method. I want to fetch address for my annotation and display it in annotation view. i successfully fetched the address but the mapview loading takes time, that is why i used the NsConnection Method . Please help me if i have made any mistake.

Answer 1

why are you doing
[connection cancel];
because it cancel the process before hitting the delegates.Remove that line and the code will work

Answer 2

The difficulty with your approach is that you are spawning a number of NSURLConnections and try then to handle with one delegate.
In order to figure out which connection and response data is associated to which latitude/longitude and response data object in your delegate method you would need to obtain the original request from the connection and then parse the URL which contains that info. This is cumbersome at least.
I would suggest to create a class (or use a third party library) that encapsulates one NSURLConnection request, the response data and possibly other state info. Purposefully, this class has a completion block where it becomes easy to associate the latitude/longitude and response data from the call site with each completion handler of a finished connection.
