How to find nearest location on map

Im currently using iOS v1.5, I'm trying to add multiple locations to a map and then the map finds the closest location to them. Any ideas? Im pretty sure this has been done before with buzztouch. -Jack

When you create the map on the applications control panel, make sure you tick the box that says "show users location" or similar. Then, in the corner of the screen on your iDevice, there will be an arrow pointing NorthEast. Click that and it should work. If this is the case, please press the thumbs up on the top corner of this comment. Thanks

What Edward says will work, but I'm not quite sure it's what your asking. If you enable "Show User Location" for the location map, it'll center the map on where you are. Then the user can tap on the pins nearest them, and get driving directions if you have configured it that way. Is that what your asking for? Mark
