You lied to the compiler.
You told it that myAnnotation was an NSDictionary:
> for (NSDictionary * myAnnotation in self.mapView.annotations)
even though you knew it was suppose to be a MyLocation (and so it rightly
protested when you tried do [myAnnotation returnPropertiesInDict] since
NSDictionary doesn't implement returnPropertiesInDict.
Try:
for (MyLocation * myAnnotation in self.mapView.annotations)
