I am writing a test application with an MKMapView that appears when the application starts, right at the start I want to initialise the mapView to be more appropriate to where the user is so I am using userLocation to get the the "users current location"
MKUserLocation *currentLocation = [[self mMapView] userLocation];
[[self mapView] setShowsUserLocation:YES];
This works fine and puts a pin in the correct place (all be it that the map is zoomed way out) I have two problems:
PROBLEM:(1)
MKCoordinateRegion region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance([[currentLocation location] coordinate], 200, 200);
[[self mapView] setRegion:region];
Even though the annotation pin is in the correct place (i.e. iOS clearly knows where I am) when I try and query the location coordinate I just get [0.0000] and [0.0000]
PROBLEM:(2)
When I zoom or pan the map the pin drops again, so each time you move you get a new pin drop animation. Is there a way to stop this?
NOTE: I am using CLLocationManager later in my code, this was just something I was trying quickly when the application first loads to give the user a better feeling for where they were rather than just looking at the default zoomed out google map.
