Answer 1

Core Location provides you with autoreleased CLLocation object in delegates method, so it becomes invalid outside that method. To preserve it you need to retain location value:

userLoc=[newLocation retain];

Or, better, declare a property for your userLoc variable with retain attribute and use it the following way:

self.userLoc = newLocation;

P.S. Memory management guide is really a must-read...
