Multiple annotations not showing in Iphone mapview - iphone

Question

I have looked at other questions in stackoverflow that are closely related to my question however my issue is a bit different. Here, the code works fine on iPad but not my iPhone. My iPad will load all 300+ annotations correctly but my iPhone will only load only 80 of them. I'm not sure if this is due to the amount of memory on the iPhone because it does the same thing when I test on the simulator. Below you will find my sample code.
#interface MOVmapViewController ()
#end
#define VA_LATITUDE 37.413754;
#define VA_LONGITUDE -79.142246;
//Span
#define THE_SPAN 5.50f;
#implementation MOVmapViewController
#synthesize myMapView;
-(IBAction)findmylocation:(id)sender {
myMapView.showsUserLocation = YES;
myMapView.delegate = MKMapTypeStandard;
[myMapView setUserTrackingMode:MKUserTrackingModeFollow animated:YES];
}
-(IBAction)setmaptype:(id)sender {
switch (((UISegmentedControl *)sender).selectedSegmentIndex) {
case 0:
myMapView.mapType = MKMapTypeStandard;
break;
case 1:
myMapView.mapType = MKMapTypeSatellite;
break;
case 2:
myMapView.mapType = MKMapTypeHybrid;
break;
default:
myMapView.mapType = MKMapTypeStandard;
break;
}
}

[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typiclly from a nib.
//Create the region

CLLocationCoordinate2D center;

//Alexandria-Washington Lodge No. 22 same location as above use lat/long
CLLocationCoordinate2D washington;
washington.latitude = 38.806758;
washington.longitude = -77.065251;
Annotation *alexandriawashingtonlodge = [Annotation alloc];
alexandriawashingtonlodge.coordinate = washington;
alexandriawashingtonlodge.title = #"Alexandria-Washington Lodge No. 22";
alexandriawashingtonlodge.subtitle = #"Alexandria, VA";
[self.myMapView addAnnotation:alexandriawashingtonlodge];
This list continues for a total of about 310 lodge locations.

Answer 1

Use like this,
NSString *abingdon = #"325 W Main Street Abingdon, Virginia 24210";
CLGeocoder *abingdongeo = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
[abingdongeo geocodeAddressString:abingdon completionHandler:^(NSArray* placemarks, NSError* error){
if (placemarks && placemarks.count > 0) {
CLPlacemark *topResult = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
MKPlacemark *placemark = [[MKPlacemark alloc] initWithPlacemark:topResult];
MKPointAnnotation *point = [[MKPointAnnotation alloc] init];
point.coordinate = placemark.coordinate;
point.title = #"Abingdon Lodge No. 48";
point.subtitle = #"Abingdon, VA";
// Set your region using placemark (not point)
MKCoordinateRegion region = self.mapView.region;
region.center = placemark.region.center;
region.span.longitudeDelta /= 8.0;
region.span.latitudeDelta /= 8.0;
// Add point (not placemark) to the mapView
[self.mapView setRegion:region animated:YES];
[self.mapView addAnnotation:point];
// Select the PointAnnotation programatically
[self.mapView selectAnnotation:point animated:NO]; }}];

Answer 2

The reason that some of my annotations are not showing up is because I'm calling on CLGeocoder to many times. Here is how I fixed the issue.
//Columbia Lodge No. 285
CLLocationCoordinate2D columbia;
columbia.latitude = 38.895746;
columbia.longitude = -77.106511;
Annotation *columbialodge = [[Annotation alloc] init];
columbialodge.coordinate = columbia;
columbialodge.title = #"Columbia Lodge No. 285";
columbialodge.subtitle = #"Arlington, VA";
[self.myMapView addAnnotation:columbialodge];
I'v converted all my of address to Lat long. Which has cut down on memory usage as well.
As much as I enjoyed just putting in the address it looks like CLGeocoder is just taking up to many resources.
