Answer 1

You can fetch the annotation for the userLocation and bring his view to front.

MKAnnotationView *annotationView = [self.mapView viewForAnnotation:self.mapView.userLocation];
[annotationView.superView bringSubviewToFront:annotationView];

Answer 2

This is probably happening because you are overriding the userLocation's annotation view.

On the Map View delegate method - mapView:viewForAnnotation:, you can do this:

- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id<MKAnnotation>)annotation {
  <YourAnnotationViewClass> *annotationView = nil;

  if (annotation != [mapView userLocation]) {
    // Add custom annotation view
  }

  return annotationView;
}

In the case where annotation == [mapView userLocation], if you return nil, the default annotation (the blue circle, in this case) will be used.

Answer 3

    public func mapView(mapView: MKMapView, viewForAnnotation annotation: MKAnnotation) -> MKAnnotationView? {
        if (annotation is MKUserLocation) {
            return nil
        }
        var annotationView: MKAnnotationView?
        // personalize annotationView
        return annotationView
    }
