MKMapView didUpdateUserLocation not updating.

Question

I have application with map and want to zoom to the current location, when it's updated. I use - (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didUpdateUserLocation:(MKUserLocation *)userLocation delegate method to know when user location was updated.

Now on simulator method is being called as it should. But when i test it on device (iphone 2g) the location is updated on map, but "didUpdateUserLocation" method is not being called at all, same for delegate method "mapViewWillStartLocatingUser".

The system asks if I allow to get my location for app and starts showing my location, but

• (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didUpdateUserLocation:(MKUserLocation *)userLocation { NSLog(@"didUpdateUserLocation = '%@'", userLocation);
  }

is never called.

Answer 1

Reference mentions that this delegate method is available since iOS 4.0. Your simulator is most probably running iOS 4.0 while your phone - iOS 3.1.

I'm having the same problem and still looking for solution. Perhaps accessing CL methods directly will help.

Answer 2

try this Map.showsUserLocation=YES;
