Simple question about MKMapView and the iPhone

Question

Basically I want to show the users location plus a list of selected location on a map. It can even have the standard iphone annotations. But, I have no idea of the general steps I would take to achieve this. Would I use MKMapView, or Core Location, or both? Could someone give me a simple outline of steps to take, or a link to a good tutorial or sample code. Thanks

To expand, I was wondering if there are any examples anywhere on how to deal with arrays of locations. I'm guessing that I would need to identify the users location then set up a radius of how far I want to reference locations away from the user, then populate that radius with an array of location that fit within that radius. Are my thoughts on this correct? And are there any examples out there of how to do at least a part of this. I have seen a ton of examples on how to show a single location, but none dealing with multiple locations.

Thanks
