Database use in xcode for multiple locations?

Question

I am trying to make annotations on a map in Xcode for every gas station and major grocery store. Does anybody have a clue about how to go about this except for entering them in all by hand? Maybe a database of some sort?

And if you do have an idea, please explain so that I can follow along. Sorry, I am very new to this. :) Any help is appreciated!

If you have access to this data and just want to store it in the app, you should use Core Data.

If you are looking for the data to begin with, see if Factual will work for you.

Cool! Just how do you use this though to plot annotations? Could you give me an example? Sorry, I' sure this is a silly question, but I am still trying to learn the ropes. :) – RoyaltyInCode Apr 15 '13 at 17:49
This question should be all you need to place an annotation: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5491791/how-to-add-a-map-annotation-on-mkmapview – jszumski Apr 15 '13 at 17:50
Which link do I use? the link of the table or the individual data? – RoyaltyInCode Apr 15 '13 at 17:56
Is there any way to place a mass of annotations? – RoyaltyInCode Apr 15 '13 at 17:58
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. How can I plot the data from the table on Factual as annotations without having to place them one by one? – RoyaltyInCode Apr 15 '13 at 18:04
