iPhone location button

Question

Ya know the little location button in the lower-left corner of the Maps application? Does anybody know where I can find that? I looked in UIButtonType and UITabBarSystemItem but came up blank.

I'd prefer to use a system image or a system something-or-other, to help ensure consistency with other system functions.

Answer 1

Have a look at https://github.com/myell0w/MTLocation

I mimiced Google Maps' Locate Me - Button, including 4 different states and the animation that is done when switching between states.

You can try using MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem It provides the same functionality as the track button on the Map app. Here is some same code.

MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem *trackButton = [[MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem alloc] initWithMapView:self.mapView];
NSMutableArray *items = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithArray:self.bottomToolbar.items];
[items insertObject:trackButton atIndex:0];
[self.bottomToolbar setItems:items];
