iOS 6 MapKit VoiceOver Reads POIs Prior to Pins

Question

I have code that worked fine under iOS 5 while tested under VoiceOver. My code adds a collection of MKPinAnnotationViews to a MKMapView . My problem in iOS 6 is that voiceover reads street names and other POIs (which can be many) prior to reaching the pins I have added. Is there a way to reorder these? I can't seem to find any recommendation from Apple on how to add pins to maps for iOS 6.

Thanks!

The best way to handle your situation is using the rotor to order and select only the annotations you specify in your predicate.

To understand how that should be implemented, I suggest you take a look at the WWDC 2016 - What's New in Accessibility video whose content is perfectly summarized here and that fully explains how this feature works thanks to a detailed example.
