Add MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem to UIView

I am using a MKUserTrackingBarButtonItem to toggle my MKMapView's usertrackingMode.

Is it possible to move this button out of my Toolbar and place it on a normal UIView?
Of course, I could implement the behavior of the button myself. Do you have any resources for the icons used in this button?

Thanks for your help.

Solution

So it seems there is no way to directly add any kind of bar button item to a UIView. We're going to have to subclass UIToolbar to make a totally invisible toolbar. Override - (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect and put nothing, not even a [super drawRect]. Then, in init, run the following code:

self = [super init];
self.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.opaque = NO;
self.translucent = YES;

return self;
