Does a MKMapView have its own location Manager?

There is a CLLocationManager i have created, and receiving the gps updates from that , but my doubt is whether the mapview has its own locationmanager, in that case there will be two location managers right? Whether this will affect my application? in case its having its own location manager

MKMapView has its own location manager.That's why you can directly show user location on map like this myMapView.showsUserLocation=YES;

Why are you using separate location manager im MKMapView? You can capture current user location by this way.

        CLLocationCoordinate2D location = [[myMapView userLocation] location].coordinate;
        double currentLat = location.latitude;
        double currentLong = location.longitude;

Also I dont think using separate location manager in MKMapView cause any problems.

Yes, it does. And it shouldn't effect your application as long as you choose one and stick with it. Although, I will point out that having two (or one empty) is terrible coding practice. Use the following function to access your MKMapView's locationManager:

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation;
