The simplest thing to do is come up with a solution you can understand. You can then create code more easily once that is accomplished. Here is a overview of one solution.

Convert an annotation to location using the coordinate property on the MKAnnotation
On the MKMapView class the userLocation property gives you the current user location
Using the CLLocation object you can get distance between two locations using (- distanceFromLocation:)

In my answer on this thread, I show how you can create the MKPinAnnotation with a tap and convert the touch point to coordinates.
