You have different options. You can see this sample code from apple: Regions. That, has I understand, check the device position by the antenna's position.

Or tracking device position, and check if is inside a region defined by You. Check this question

If you find a better solution, please let me know.

EDIT:

To check if a coordinate is visible in the map try using this:

// Your coordinates - Lisbon for example
float lisbonLatitudeValue = 38.7069320;
float lisbonLongitudeValue = -9.1356321;

CLLocationCoordinate2D lisbonCoordinates = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(lisbonLatitudeValue, lisbonLongitudeValue);

if (MKMapRectContainsPoint(mapView.visibleMapRect, MKMapPointForCoordinate(lisbonCoordinates)))
{
    // do something
    NSLog(@" - Lisbon is visible");
}
else {
    // do something
    NSLog(@" - Lisbon is not visible");
}

Hope it helps
