Time for action – adding annotations to a map

Perform the following steps to add annotations to a map:

1. Putting a pin bar annotation to a map is simply a case of specifying the coordinates of the pin placement and the properties of the pin such as its color, title, and button:

   var tourmalet = Titanium.Map.createAnnotation({
     latitude:    42.908655,
     longitude:   0.145054,
     title:       'Col du Tourmalet',
     subtitle:    'France',
     pincolor:    Ti.Map.ANNOTATION_RED,
     animate:     true
   });
   
   theMap.addAnnotation(tourmalet);

2. Run the app!
