Annotation count?
├─ < 100 → Use Marker/Annotation directly in Map {} content builder
│   Simple, declarative, no performance concern
│
├─ 100-1000 → Enable clustering
│   Set .clusteringIdentifier on annotation views
│   SwiftUI: Marker("", coordinate:).tag(id)
│   MKMapView: view.clusteringIdentifier = "poi"
│
└─ 1000+ → Server-side clustering or visible-region filtering
    Fetch only annotations within mapView.region
    Or pre-cluster on server, send cluster centroids
    MKMapView with view reuse is preferred for very large datasets

    @State private var cameraPosition: MapCameraPosition = .automatic
    @State private var visibleAnnotations: [Location] = []

            visibleAnnotations = allLocations.filter { location in
                context.region.contains(location.coordinate)
            }
        }
    }
}

        return latRange.contains(coordinate.latitude) && lngRange.contains(coordinate.longitude)
    }
}

Search implementation:
├─ User types search query
│   └─ MKLocalSearchCompleter (real-time autocomplete)
│       Configure: resultTypes, region bias
│       └─ User selects result
│           └─ MKLocalSearch (full result with MKMapItem)
│               Use completion.title for MKLocalSearch.Request
│
└─ Programmatic search (e.g., "nearest gas station")
    └─ MKLocalSearch with naturalLanguageQuery
        Configure: resultTypes, region, pointOfInterestFilter

Directions implementation:
├─ MKDirections.Request
│   Set source (MKMapItem.forCurrentLocation()) and destination
│   Set transportType (.automobile, .walking, .transit)
│
└─ MKDirections.calculate()
    └─ MKRoute
        ├─ .polyline → Display as MapPolyline or MKPolylineRenderer
        ├─ .expectedTravelTime → Show ETA
        ├─ .distance → Show distance
        └─ .steps → Turn-by-turn instructions
