MGLUserLocation

 

@interface MGLUserLocation : NSObject <MGLAnnotation, NSSecureCoding>

The MGLUserLocation class defines a specific type of annotation that identifies the user’s current location. You do not create instances of this class directly. Instead, you retrieve an existing MGLUserLocation object from the userLocation property of the map view displayed in your application.

See the Customize the user location annotation example to learn how to overide the default user location annotation.
