Custom icon for location.Possible?

After much googling I'm nothing has come to my specific problem.

Is it possible to change the icon of the blue location dot with the circle? I would like to replace the locator icon with my own icon.

Then save it to a different view with my own image.By pressing a button.Like a Annotation. The result would be the location in the "AddPlace"View should store the location in a different View.

I use the MapKit Framework.

Yes, there is delegate method of MKMapView - viewForAnnotation, which is called also for the location pin. When annotation is kind of class MKUserLocation

Example:

- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
    if ([annotation isKindOfClass:[MKUserLocation class]]) {
        MKAnnotationView *pinView = (MKAnnotationView *)[mapView dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier:@"pinViewLocation"];
        if (!pinView) {
            pinView = [[MKAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:@"pinViewLocation"];
            pinView.canShowCallout = NO;
            pinView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"map-location-pin"];
        }
    }
    .....
