In an exercise I am doing involving MKMapView, I was instructed to enter the following line in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: :

[mapView setShowsUserLocation:YES];

I expected this to zoom me into my location, but it did not.

After carefully reviewing the MapView in Interface Builder, I noticed in the Attributes window a checkbox to toggle “Shows User Location”. Suddenly the zoom worked. I commented out the other line and it still works, which begs the question – why did it fail in the first place?

I’m using the latest iPhone SDK.

    That doesn’t zoom to the location, it only tells the mapview to display the small blue dot. You’ll have to move the mapview there yourself.
