The short answer to your question would be "yes". But that's not really what your are asking for is it? — Claus Broch, Apr 06 '11 at 15:24

Forward geocoding is not available in the iOS SDK (unlike reverse geocoding). I use this solution -

This works really well for me. You can try it if you download my app, iGoBy, then go to the map and search for an address (Not trying to advertise here, just to let you see it working :))

Google have this feature available through their map API.

You could also use geonames.org which have a similar API. My ILGeoNames project on GitHub provides some simple Objective C wrappers for accessing geonames.org.

Update: You would need to do the annotations on the map yourself though.
