Map View always center map on my location

Question

I use the following code to get my location when a user presses a button

 [mapview setShowsUserLocation:YES];

and then the follwoing to center the map to te user's location

- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didUpdateUserLocation:(MKUserLocation *)userLocation      
{
   [mapView setCenterCoordinate:mapView.userLocation.location.coordinate animated:YES];
} 

My question is how to prevent the map from always centering on my location? I want to allow the user to pan the map.

I think it came in with iOS5, you can now drop the delegate stuff and just set the userTrackingMode of the MKMapView. Set it to MKUserTrackingModeFollow to make the make move along with the user and then when they start panning the map around it'll turn off the tracking mode automatically, you then just need to provide a button to turn it back on.
