How to prevent entire map from loading in IOS

Question

I have a mapview with many annotations which loads when the user touches a button. The problem is that loading and populating the map with all the annotations already takes a long time. Is there a way to prevent unused areas of the map from loading in IOS? Is there a way to load only the part of the map that I am using on my App? Thanks

The more annotations you have the slower the map will be. I recommend either showing less annotations at a time or clustering annotations. Here are a few cocoapods that do annotation clustering
