iPhone Compass GPS Direction

Question

I\'m trying to develop an application that use the GPS and Compass of the iPhone in order to point some sort of pointer to a specific location (like the compass always point

Answer 1

1) Get your current location (from the GPS)

2) Get the differences in latitude and longitude

3) use the atan2 method to get the angle

i.e. (WARNING: untested code)

CLLocation *targetLocation = [CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:1 longitude:2];
CLLocation *sourceLocation = 

double dx = [targetLocation coordinate].latitude - [sourceLocation coordinate].latitude;
double dy = [targetLocation coordinate].longitude - [sourceLocation coordinate].longitude;

double angle = atan2(dx, dy);

You might have to tweak that to get it to compile but the idea is there!
