Abstract

Every iOS device has the ability to determine where in the world it is using a framework called Core Location. iOS also includes a framework called Map Kit that lets you easily create a live interactive map showing any locations you like, including, of course, the user’s location. In this chapter, we’ll get you started using both of these frameworks.
