Answer 1

If you try to get user co-ordinates in viewDidLoad() method, it will always give 0,0 result, because it is not yet initialized.

You should take a look at "Where Am I" sample code form Apple site. It explains what you need. You need to use CLLocationManager class. You will also need the method

*-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation*

This method will be called automatically every time when user location is updated. If you are using simulator, then this method will be called only once and it will return some default co-ordinates.

Hope it helps.
