getting user location and creating map not in sync

The below code is getting the user current location and creating a mapbox map. problem is that the mapbox map is being created before the users location is obtain. How may I slow or sync this process? Thank you in advance,

  import UIKit
  import CoreLocation
  import MapboxGL

 class AViewController: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate {
   var manager:CLLocationManager!
   var userLocation:CLLocation = CLLocation(latitude: 25.776243, longitude: -80.136509)

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    println("inside viewdidload")
    self.getUserLocation()
}//eom

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    println("inside viewdidappear")
   self.createMapBoxMap()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

        mapView.autoresizingMask = .FlexibleWidth | .FlexibleHeight

        // set the map's center coordinate
        mapView.setCenterCoordinate(CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: self.userLocation.coordinate.latitude, longitude: self.userLocation.coordinate.longitude),
            zoomLevel: 13, animated: false)
        view.addSubview(mapView)

        //showing the user location on map - blue dot
        mapView.showsUserLocation = true
    }//eom
