Title Body

I want to be able to tell if tap is within a MKPolygon. I have a MKPolygon: CLLocationCoordinate2D points[4]; points[0] = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(41.000512, -109.050116); points[1] = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(41.002371, -102.052066); points[2] = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(36.993076, -102.041981); points[3] = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(36.99892, -109.045267); MKPolygon* poly = [MKPolygon polygonWithCoordinates:points count:4]; [self.mapView addOverlay:poly]; //create UIGestureRecognizer to detect a tap UITapGestureRecognizer *tapRecognizer = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(foundTap:)]; tapRecognizer.numberOfTapsRequired = 1; tapRecognizer.numberOfTouchesRequired = 1; [self.mapView addGestureRecognizer:tapRecognizer]; its just a basic outline of the state Colorado. I got the tap to lat/long conversion set up: -(IBAction)foundTap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)recognizer { CGPoint point = [recognizer locationInView:self.mapView]; CLLocationCoordinate2D tapPoint = [self.mapView convertPoint:point toCoordinateFromView:self.view]; } but i am unsure how to tech if my tap point is within the MKPolygon. there does not seem to be a method to do this check, so i'm guessing i need to convert the MKPolygon to a CGRect and use CGRectContainsPoint. MKPolygon has a .points property but i can't seem to get them back out. any suggestions? EDIT: Both solutions below work in iOS 6 or lower, but breaks in iOS 7. In iOS 7 the polygon.path property allways returns NULL . Ms Anna was kind enough to provide a solution in another SO question here . It involves creating your own path from the polygon points to pass into CGPathContainsPoint() . image of
