The blue blob isn't default, it's specifically for the Google Maps application. If you want your annotation to show something on the map, you need to provide an MKAnnotationView for it. MapKit comes with the MKPinAnnotationView for free, where you can select a red, green or purple pin. If you want anything else to appear, you will have to provide your own custom view and your own custom art.

  • blue blob is by default in mapkit.i think you haven't used mapkit yet.by the way i found the problem,it was device problem.the device is not getting the location so the location of user is unable to locate.thus it shows user location cordinates to -180.000,-180.000 – Rahul Vyas Nov 07 '09 at 06:37

if (annotation == aMapView.userLocation) 
{
    return nil; // this might be the moment the location was first detected
}
