How to select already present places on map using Mapkit ios swift

I want to make my app open another View Controller on the tap of an already present place on the map. When you open a map there are many places shown on map with their names i think they are called land marks. I want to make it so when a user selects such landmark i show information to him about it. The problem is I want that user directly clicks on such place and don't want to make annotations on map Is this possible?

You can show those from iOS 16 using selectableMapFeatures. It would look like this in your viewDidLoad:

mapView.selectableMapFeatures = [.pointsOfInterest]

Then to use the default callout from Apple you'll need this where you conform to MKMapViewDelegate:

func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
    return nil
}

But you can customize it, get more information from the annotation etc. Here's a link to the Apple WWDC about it. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10035/

The part you want is at about the 20 minute mark.
