How to programmatically show user location on a MKMapView iOS?

I'm trying to make a app that has a MKMapView, and you can turn on/off whether it shows your location or not. I'm using a UIActionSheet to let the user decide to turn it showsUserLocation on/off. The problem is not the UIActionSheet, but that I can't seem to get the MKMapView to display the user location when I select the YES option.

Code in the - (void)actionSheet:(UIActionSheet *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex Method:

// Show User Location ActionSheet
if (actionSheet.tag == 1) {

    // YES Button
    if (buttonIndex == 0) {
        MapView.showsUserLocation = YES;

    }

    // NO Button
    if (buttonIndex == 1) {
        MapView.showsUserLocation = NO;

    }

}

It's not showing the User's Location, even though I press the YES button. Help please?!?!

  • Never mind, I found a video that helped me a lot!

    This tutorial on YouTube helped me display the user's location on the MKMapView. Turns out that in the - (void)viewDidLoad Method, I needed to add [MapView setDelegate:self];. Boy, that was a stupid mistake! :P
