iOS "locate me" button

[MarcVanH]

Does anyone know if there is a system item for a "locate me" style button? I'm referring to the button in "Maps" lower left corner, with a radar scope type graphic that turns into an "activity indicator" when it is finding your location.

Do I need to create my own graphics to make one of these, or is there a built-in shortcut?

I don't recall seeing one, just subclass the button and make your own

Yes, I will. But I was mainly looking for that "scope" graphic.

I needed the same thing about 6 weeks back, but no luck. If anyone knows of a package of standard iphone icons (free or paid) like the favorites image, refresh image, the location image, etc, I would greatly appreciate it.

Attached is the location button I made. I am by no means even close to a graphic designer, but this looks decent on a button on the phone.

Here's the code I used for the button:

UIImage *buttonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"locate.png"];
UIBarButtonItem *locateButton = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:buttonImage style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(startLocating:)] autorelease];
[[self navigationItem] setRightBarButtonItem:locateButton];

The SDK provides access to many of these through UIBarButtonSystemItem and UITabBarSystemItem.
For example,
Favorites = UITabBarSystemItemFavorites
Refresh = UIBarButtonSystemItemRefresh
Location = sorry, not yet in SDK
