Hello

If I create a simple MapView and associated delegate and have the following my user location is shown as the standard blue dot.

func makeUIView(context: Context) -> MKMapView {

        let region: MKCoordinateRegion = MKCoordinateRegion(center: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: -37.8136, longitude: 144.9631), span: MKCoordinateSpan(latitudeDelta: 0.01, longitudeDelta: 0.01))

        mapView.delegate = context.coordinator

        mapView.region = region

        mapView.showsUserLocation = true
        mapView.showsScale = true

        return mapView
    }

I then wanted to add some annotations so along iwth other stuff I add the following to the delegate

func mapView(_ mapView: MKMapView, viewFor annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
            let annotationView = MarkerAnnotationView(annotation: annotation, reuseIdentifier: "Marker")
            annotationView.canShowCallout = false
            return annotationView
        }

When I do this the user location disappears.

Anyone know why.

Regards

Yesterday, I was watching a great video by Stewart Lynch about new button styles in iOS 15.

Here's a link: iOS 15 Button Styles

How does this relate to your question about Maps?

At minute 17:05 Stewart shows some code for getting permissions to access a user's current position. This is because he is demontrating a new button type, the LocationButton. Futhermore, he has some nice code snips that I think directly relate to your question. At minute 21, he shows a map manager class. You may find this class very useful for what you're doing!

In short, he demonstrates showing a user's location, and also tracking the user's location.

Report back! We all want to hear what you think of his LocationManager class.

Sean Allen did a course where he customized the pins in Dub Dub Grub.
