Answer 1

To show the user location, set the following property to true on the map view object

mapView.showsUserLocation = YES;

To display a custom annotation, set image property on the map view annotation

- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation 
{
        // check for nil annotation, dequeue / reuse annotation
        // to avoid over riding the user location default image ( blue dot )
        if ( mapView.UserLocation == annotation ) {
        return nil; // display default image
        }
        annotation.Image = carImage;
}
