Multiple Custom Point Annotations - Swift

Question

I am trying to give my two MKPointAnnotation pins a custom image. So far I am being able to display the same image on both pins. What could I do to the code below to give each pin a custom image?

func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {

        guard !(annotation is MKUserLocation) else {
            return nil
        }


        let annotationIdentifier = "AnnotationIdentifier"

        var annotationView: MKAnnotationView?

        if let dequeuedAnnotationView = mapView.dequeueReusableAnnotationView(withIdentifier: annotationIdentifier) {
            annotationView = dequeuedAnnotationView
            annotationView?.annotation = annotation
        }
        else {
            annotationView = MKAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: annotationIdentifier)
            annotationView?.rightCalloutAccessoryView = UIButton(type: .detailDisclosure)
        }


        if let annotationView = annotationView {
            annotationView.canShowCallout = true
            annotationView.image = UIImage(named: "Moto_pin")
        }

        return annotationView
    }

Instead of annotationView.image = UIImage(named: "Moto_pin"), you will want to change the image for each pin. That line will assign the same image to each annotation view.

Try to use MKPinAnnotationView instead of MKAnnotationView. To do so you just need to change:

var annotationView: MKPinAnnotationView?

With this class you can customize your pin color and the whole view
