Question

I’m getting the location through - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation. It should work when you move (can’t really test it in simulator, at least I don’t know how) but when I first load the app, the mapview is focused on the whole world, not just my location. Can I anyhow call the method to change the location on first view?
Here is my current code if it helps:

If your using mapkit:

Have you tried

setRegion:(MKCoordinateRegion)region animated:(BOOL)animated

Example:

CLLocationCoordinate2D coord = {latitude: 61.2180556, longitude: -149.9002778};
MKCoordinateSpan span = {latitudeDelta: 0.2, longitudeDelta: 0.2};
MKCoordinateRegion region = {coord, span};

[mapView setRegion:region];

this should zoom the mapview to your desired size, while maintaining focus on the center.

If your using CoreLocation:

Heres a checklist of what might have gone wrong:

• Did you remember to import
• Do you have a location manager (locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];)
• Is the code mentioned within the delegate of the location manager ?

I advise you to go to this page : Getting location of a iOS device with objective-C and follow the tutorial bit by bit. That should help you out.

Also, heres the mapkit docs

Best of luck with your project :]
