I faced similar issue and wasted 4 days thinking whats going wrong. Finally resolved with creating these lines of code in viewDidLoad Method :

    //Zoom to user location
    let noLocation = CLLocationCoordinate2D()
    let viewRegion = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(noLocation, 200, 200)
    mapView.setRegion(viewRegion, animated: false)
    mapView.showsUserLocation = true

In ViewDidLoad Method add these new changes code :

override func viewDidLoad() {

    super.viewDidLoad()

    let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
    locationManager.delegate = self
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest

    // Check for Location Services
    if (CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled()) {
        locationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
        locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
    }

    //Zoom to user location
    if let userLocation = locationManager.location?.coordinate {
        let viewRegion = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(userLocation, 200, 200)
        mapView.setRegion(viewRegion, animated: false)
    }

    self.locationManager = locationManager

    DispatchQueue.main.async {
        self.locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
    }

}

Hope this helps to resolve your issue. Feel free to post comment if any further issue. Thanks
