Is it possible to pass data from MKAnnotation without using a segue and just presenting a View Controller?

For some strange reason, Xcode doesn't recognize my segue when I create it and use performSegueWithIdentifier("Details", sender: self).

enter image description here

But I was able to find a way around this by presenting the view controller with this: 

let viewController:UIViewController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("DetailsViewController") as! UIViewController

self.presentViewController(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

How can I pass data from the MKAnnotationView, to the new details view if I'm not using a segue? (func prepareForSegue requires a segue to pass data right?)

On your segue not recognized issue -

Show/push segues have to be performed by a navigation controller.

Like Dhaval said, you don't have to use segues to pass data though. All you need is a public property/public method that you can use to pass the data.

// You have to make object of that DetailViewController(Class Name) rather than viewController 

let viewController:UIViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("DetailsViewController") as! DetailViewController

// Then you can access variable of DetailsViewController Like This:

viewController.parameter = whatever

self.presentViewController(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
