How to show UIProgressView with MKMapView?

Question

In my application, i have latitude and longitude values to show a location in MKMapView. In previous version i have used UIActivityIndicator until Mapscreen loads in MKMapView. Now i want to show a UIProgressView instead of UIActivityIndicator.

Is it possible to show a progress with MKMapView? I searched lot and couldn't get proper or related solution so for.

Note: What i have used with UIProgressView is uploading and downloading files with NSURLConnection. I want to know the process time of map loading section, then only i will able to show progress ? right.

Any one plz help me on this? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately MKMapView doesn't natively support this.

You can check MKMapViewDelegate Protocol Reference and there are no such delegate methods. All you can get from it is only when map starts and finishes loading the data.
