Is it possible to use the location indicator outside MKMapView?

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the little blue dot outside the context of an MKMapView (and if so how)?

I've seen it done in a few other apps, however I don't know whether they've just tried to manually recreate it or whether the component is available. I tried searching online, but I don't actually know the name of the component which is making it very challenging.
