iPhone mapKit annotation for Current Location

Question

Hello

Im currently strugglung with annotations. how can i prevent the AnnotationLable for the blue GPS-point. (Here is an Image)

- (MKAnnotationView *) mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(MKAnnotation *) annotation{


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

the function above isnt working, and i realized that i can't compare two coordinates.

Any hint is welcome. Simon

Answer 1

You are comparing an annotation to a location in your if.

Are you trying to supress the current location annotation for a reason? It is common UI with map kit and the consistency helps users understand the blue dot.

Does this help at all?

In the MapViewController class:

- (void)viewDidLoad{ 
    mapView.showsUserLocation = YES;
    ...
