User's Current Location

[kyledecot]

I'm plotting a bunch of points on a map then doing:

[mapview setShowsUserLocation:YES];

The problem is that it displays the users location as a pin instead of the blue pulsating dot that it usually displays. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've included a screenshot of my app below.

- (MKAnnotationView *) mapViewMKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotationid <MKAnnotation>) annotation{
MKPinAnnotationView *annView=[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:@"currentloc"];//CONSTANTS CHANGE IT
[annView setPinColor:MKPinAnnotationColorGreen];
[annView setAnimatesDrop:NO];
[annView setCanShowCallout:YES];
[annView setCalloutOffset:CGPointMake(-5, 5)];

/*****
annView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];


*****/
return [annView autorelease];
}




so if you don't want this blue button kind of thing then comment

/*****
annView.rightCalloutAccessoryView = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeDetailDisclosure];


*****/


Then it will work fine.

Thanks

I don't understand what the other poster was trying to say.

The solution is as follows:

In your mapView:viewForAnnotation: method, add the following as the first line:

if(annotation == mapView.userLocation)
return nil;

The system will use the default view for an annotation if you return nil, and the default view for the user's location is the blue dot.

Thanks for the answer. I actually figured it out before looking at your reply but at least now someone else will be able to find the answer if they come across the same problem.
