This presentation I gave at AppBuilders Zürich Meetup http://www.meetup.com/App-Builders-Zurich/events/231009586/ We all know MapKit which is Apple's framework that easily allows us to embed and annotate maps on iOS devices. During this presentation you will learn how to display more than a map and what are the challenges when you want to visualize a complex project like animation of the Swiss Railways, which deals with 13'000 trains on 5'000 km of tracks, generating 150'000 timetables stops across 1'800 stations.
