No matter what change I make the initial state is a map of the US showing the simulator in Cupertino. What am I doing wrong?

The map is showing the user's location of the SIIMULATOR - it will always report Cuptertino (Apple Headquarters). This is logical, the Simulator doesn't know where it is ;-) If you don't want the users location to show up on the map when it first loads... you'll need to make an adjustment to the source-code. Look in the /Screen_LocationMap folder and find this file: MapViewController.m In this file, there is a setting that tells the map to show the users location. It reads: self.mapView.showUserLocation = YES Feel free to change this to self.mapView.showUserLocation = NO Doing that will prevent the map from showing the users location when it first loads.
