Answer 1

Try this in

CLLocation *userLoc = mapView.userLocation.location;
CLLocationCoordinate2D userCoordinate = userLoc.coordinate;

NSLog(@"user latitude = %f",userCoordinate.latitude);
NSLog(@"user longitude = %f",userCoordinate.longitude);

ViewdidAppear: or call perform seletor after delay

Answer 2

From the document on CLLocation, if the horizontal accuracy or vertical accuracy is negative, it means it can't find a value. I suspect that's what is happening here. Bear in mind that if you just look once, it may give you an approximate last known location before ever improving the accuracy result.

Horizontal Accuracy The coordinate’s latitude and longitude identify the center of the circle and this value indicates the radius of that circle. A negative value indicates that the coordinate’s latitude and longitude are invalid.
