How to determine if an annotation is inside of MKPolygonView (iOS)

by

The following converts the coordinate to a CGPoint in the polygon view and uses CGPathContainsPoint to test if that point is in the path (which may be non-rectangular):

CLLocationCoordinate2D mapCoordinate = ...; //user location or annot coord

MKMapPoint mapPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(mapCoordinate);

MKPolygonView *polygonView = 
    (MKPolygonView *)[mapView viewForOverlay:polygonOverlay];

CGPoint polygonViewPoint = [polygonView pointForMapPoint:mapPoint];

BOOL mapCoordinateIsInPolygon = 
    CGPathContainsPoint(polygonView.path, NULL, polygonViewPoint, NO);

This should work with any overlay view that is a subclass of MKOverlayPathView. You can actually replace MKPolygonView with MKOverlayPathView in the example.
