You can use MKPolygon.

First of all you'll need to disable user interaction on the map view so that it won't move around while you're trying to draw on it. Next up you can use the UIResponder functions touchesBegan, touchesMoved and touchesEnded. As you move through these three functions you can record the points the user has pressed. Lastly you can then create an MKPolygon from this array of points that you have recorded.
