title: Swift Mapkit - Move Away From User Location
body: <p>I want to display user location and the surrounding area, but I also want to allow the user to pan around the area. Right now if I try to scroll somewhere else on the map it automatically takes me back to the base region with the user at the center. How do I stop this? I want to show the initial view with the user in the center, but I want to be able to scroll around too. Thanks in advance you guys are so helpful!</p>
  
  <p>import UIKit
  import MapKit
  import CoreLocation</p>
  
  <p>class ViewControllerMain: UIViewController, MKMapViewDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate {</p>
  
  <pre><code>@IBOutlet weak var mapView: MKMapView!
  
  var locationManager:CLLocationManager!
  
  override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()
      locationManager = CLLocationManager()
      locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
      locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
      locationManager.delegate = self
      locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()
      mapView.showsUserLocation = true
      mapView.delegate = self
  
      let longPress = UILongPressGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "action:")
      longPress.minimumPressDuration = 1.0
      mapView.addGestureRecognizer(longPress)
  }

  func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didUpdateLocations locations: [AnyObject]!) {
      let regionToZoom = MKCoordinateRegionMake(manager.location.coordinate, MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.01, 0.01))
      mapView.setRegion(regionToZoom, animated: true)
  }
