Default MkMapView Region

Question

Please tell me what is the default map location when it simply add to the view. I added mapview like this

MKMapView *mapView = [[MKMapView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,  self.searchBar.frame.size.height, 320, 180)];

mapView.mapType=MKMapTypeStandard;

mapView.delegate=self; 

[self.view addSubview:mapView];

what location will show on map ?

Is this according to device coordinates or by other

Thanks

Answer 1

After done so googling and reading apple map doc.

I found the solution the default location is the device local that is International in Settings -> general ->International->ResionFormat-> select your country.

map will focus according to this setting.

Answer 2

I think the system makes a call and Apple's servers return this info.

I've made a little test with simulator (Extra info: I'm in Spain):

• Test 1

  1. Turn off internet access
  2. iOS simulator > Reset content and settings
  3. Build and run app w/mapview
  4. Turn on internet access
  5. Little scroll on map (just for change region a little and begin with map tiles downloading)
  6. United states is being displayed on screen

• Test 2 (wihtout turning off internet)

  1. iOS simulator > Reset content and settings
  2. Build and run app w/mapview
  3. Spain is being displayed on screen

I don't think that Apple's getting user location without consent. It could be a request for default location IP based as a part of operative system.
