Following this tutorial on how to display XML latitude and longitude data as pins on iOS map kit: http://highoncoding.com/Articles/805_Consuming_XML_Feed_and_Displaying_Public_Information_on_the_MapView_Control.aspx
The sample code provided compiles correctly and displays pins all across the united states. However when I tried to "port" the .xib into my app It pulls up my Mapview and the current users location, but it won't drop any pins/parse the data?
I'm on Day 2 now, its a bit discouraging.
Heres my .m and .h

My Project is pretty simple, uses a lot of free source code so feel free to download what I've made up to this point, I'm pretty sure it would make a good template/starting base for a lot of you:
