Can we show user location in offline in MKMapview - gps

Question

Can we get current user location "That blue ball which is animating" when our device is offline.when i tried to get current user location and log it i'm getting 0.00000 for both longitude and latitude here is the code that i used to get current user location.I'm using ipad mini to test it.I have also added CLLocationManagerDelegate in .h file.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[self getUserLocation];
self.myMapView.showsUserLocation = YES;
}
-(void)getUserLocation{
if ([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled]) {
locationManager = [[[CLLocationManager alloc] init] autorelease];
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation;
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}else{
NSLog(#"User location Disabled");
}
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
CLLocation *currentGPSLocation = newLocation;
if (currentGPSLocation != nil) {
currentLocation.latitude = self.myMapView.userLocation.coordinate.latitude;
currentLocation.longitude = self.myMapView.userLocation.coordinate.longitude;
currentLocationWalk.latitude=self.myMapView.userLocation.coordinate.latitude;
currentLocationWalk.longitude=self.myMapView.userLocation.coordinate.longitude;
NSLog(#"didUpdateToLocation: %f,%f", self.myMapView.userLocation.coordinate.latitude,self.myMapView.userLocation.coordinate.longitude);
statusLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
statusLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f",self.myMapView.userLocation.coordinate.latitude];
statusLabel1.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f",self.myMapView.userLocation.coordinate.longitude];
}
}

Answer 1

You are not using ARC (I strongly suggest using it, it avoid most of the memory management errors!).
Therefore it might be that "locationManager" is a instance variable that is not retained (maybe you did not declare it as a retained property).
In this case, it might have been released already when your code returns to the main run loop, where the autorelease pool is drained.

Answer 2

This line
locationManager = [[[CLLocationManager alloc] init] autorelease];
is not a good idea.
define the locationManager as a property,
init the locationManager in viewDidLoad(), but remove the autorelease!
and relase the locationManager only when the viewController is unloaded (there where you release the other properties)
