Question

I have an application where in I give user 2 options.
1. Select your current location through GPS
2. Enter your current location manually.

What I want is When user has selected thh first option then I have to display the blue animated icon for current location
And when user has selected 2nd option then I have to display my own custom icon for current location.

Is it possible? Suggestions are most welcomed.

Thanks.

First set a boolean variable for Example isInGPSMode

now apply following code

if(isInGPSMode==TRUE)
{
     mapViewHome.showsUserLocation=TRUE;
}
else
{
     mapViewHome.showsUserLocation=FALSE;
}

and handle the map view delegate as

- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView1 viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>) annotation
{
    if(annotation==mapViewHome.userLocation)
    {
        return nil;
    }
    addAnnonation *tempAnnonation=(addAnnonation *)annotation;

    MKPinAnnotationView *annView=[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:@"currentloc"];
    annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
    return annView;

}
