## What it is
A customizable Objective-C replica of Apple's MKUserLocationView for iOS MapKit, drawn entirely with Core Graphics. It renders a pulsing halo animation around map annotations with configurable colors and timing.

## Use cases
- show a pulsing current-location indicator on an MKMapView
- customize the color and animation speed of a user location annotation view
- replace the default MKUserLocationView with a custom-styled pulsing dot
- add animated halo rings to arbitrary map annotations
- build map UIs that match Apple's location pulse animation

## When to choose
- you need an Apple-style pulsing user location view with custom colors or timing
- your iOS app uses MapKit and Objective-C or Swift interop
- you want a lightweight, Core Graphics-based annotation view without heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- you are building for Android or non-Apple platforms
- you need SwiftUI-native or modern MapKit annotation APIs
- the project requires actively maintained dependencies with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, animation, graphics
- domain: mobile-development
- platform: -
- tags: mapkit, objective-c, annotation-view, core-graphics, user-location, maps, ios, mobile
