MapKit Annotations tracing routes and using prepareForSegue

Question

I'm using MapKit in my app and i needed drop pin an specific place and in another view controller, when will have an option to draw the route to that pin. So, i use this fantastic tutorial but i'm having trouble to pass the information with prepareForSegue

class Place: NSObject, MKAnnotation {
    // This class creates the map annotation who have the place's location and some information about it
    let title: String?
    let locationName: String
    let discipline: String
    let coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D 
    // The title and the subtitle will appear when the user touches in a pin from a specific place.
    init(title: String, locationName: String, discipline: String, coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D) {
        self.title = title
        self.locationName = locationName
        self.discipline = discipline
        self.coordinate = coordinate
        super.init()
    }
    // The title will be the place's name and in the subtitle will appear where is the location
    var subtitle: String? {
        return locationName
    }
}

So, in Map's ViewController, i has this func how works when the user taps a map annotation pin if he taps this info button.

func mapView(mapView: MKMapView, annotationView view: MKAnnotationView,
            calloutAccessoryControlTapped control: UIControl) {

       let location = view.annotation as! Place
       let launchOptions = [MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey: MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving]
                           location.mapItem().openInMapsWithLaunchOptions(launchOptions)
 }

So than i change this func:

func mapView(mapView: MKMapView, annotationView view: MKAnnotationView,
        calloutAccessoryControlTapped control: UIControl) {
      let location = view.annotation as! Place
      let launchOptions = [MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey: MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving]
      performSegueWithIdentifier("GoRestaurant", sender: self)
}

because like i sad, i wanna "openInMapsWithLaunchOptions" in another ViewController whos's identifier it's "GoRestaurant". So than i made a prepareForSegue to send "location"and "launchOptions"

func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
        var showPlace: RestaurantsViewController = segue.destinationViewController as! RestaurantsViewController

        showPlace.location = location
        showPlace.launchOptions = launchOptions
}

but, in the RestaurantsViewController, when i try "import" location, don't works.

var locationName: String = "" //ok, no error
var location: Place = () //error: Cannot convert value of type '()' to specified type 'Place'

I try initialize so many times in so much different ways but i have no idea who fix it. Please, someone.. Save my life help me with this!

In your code the initialisation of location variable is giving error. you must provide the class name before the braces for proper initialisation after the equal sign — Muneeba, Dec 22 '15 at 05:41
Man, i'm sorry. I read wrong your suggestion. I was try with var location: Place = Place() but, this not work too. "Missing argument for parameter 'title' in call" So than i try pass the arguments through prepareForSegue... But I couldn't. Didn't work :( — Gustavo Isidio, Dec 22 '15 at 05:51
The error has been removed right? u r not getting the location value in your restaurant view controller? — Muneeba, Dec 22 '15 at 06:03
Nope. Now, the error is "Missing argument for parameter 'title' in call" — Gustavo Isidio, Dec 22 '15 at 12:55
That's because you init method has input paramerter. write this var location: Place = Place(title: "your title", locationName: "location", discipline: "discipline",coordinate: "yourcordinate") — Muneeba, Dec 22 '15 at 13:05
Yep. I know. What you sugest? Than I send to this viewController the parameter too? I try this . Like i sad " i try pass the arguments(parameters) trhought prepareForSegue but I culdn't. Didn't work" — Gustavo Isidio, Dec 22 '15 at 13:10
Man, I get it. I try again pass the parameters through prepareForSegue and now, my only error is (https://goo.gl/HAF1aX). The font of those parameters are (https://goo.gl/ZcU5vm). — Gustavo Isidio, Dec 22 '15 at 14:05
Alright .. this is new thing in swift with Xcode 7 . Write the location initialisation code inside viewDidLoad it will work.
