MapKit's built in function MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance takes distances in meters and turns them into a MKCoordinateRegion : func MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance( _ centerCoordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D, _ latitudinalMeters: CLLocationDistance, _ longitudinalMeters: CLLocationDistance) -> MKCoordinateRegion is there a reverse function that takes a MKCoordinateRegion and gives me latitudinalMeters and longitudinalMeters? MKCoordinateRegion gives a center (latitude and longitude) and span (delta latitude and longitude). Given these values, you can determine the location of the edges

i don't understand this example from the doc : the timeIntervalSinceNow method should show a positive value, but how can we reach "5" as mentioned in the code? (i think it's either 0 more or less, or -10 , -20, -30 etc... but how can we get a positive value such as 5?) : - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation { // test the age of the location measurement to determine if the measurement is cached // in most cases you will not want to rely on cached measurements NSTimeInterval locationAge = -

I've seen Android developers get the accuracy of a GPS location. Is there a way that I can get the accuracy of my currenct GPS location in iOS? I am using the code from this answer to get my location: locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; locationManager.delegate = self; locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone; locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest; [locationManager startUpdatingLocation]; - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation { NSLog(@

I have a latitude/longitude location that I want to convert to the location name String in Swift. What is the best way to do this? i believe it's best to use the reverseGeocodeLocation function but not exactly sure how to. This is what I have so far: func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager!, didUpdateLocations locations: [AnyObject]!) { if (locationFixAchieved == false) { locationFixAchieved = true var locationArray = locations as NSArray var locationObj = locationArray.lastObject as CLLocation var coord = locationObj.coordinate var latitude = coord.latitude var longitude = coord

I'm finishing an App in wish i need to show the user the distance between him and about 500 coordinates. using the CLLocation method to calculate it, works well, but it takes about 1 minute in iPhone 4 to finish calculations for each location. What is the best way to do it? Using span? Any other faster way? Thanks all, rui I think Sahgal is right, here is some code, perhaps it will help you. +(CGFloat)calculateDistanceBetweenSource:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)firstCoords andDestination:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)secondCoords { // this radius is in KM => if miles are needed it is calculated during

Here is the scenario. I need to have an application which polls a web service with the users location every 15 minutes whether in background / foreground. At the moment I: Start / Restart the location manager with accuracy highest and distance filter none. Wait to get within desired accurancy. Store reading setDesiredAccuracy to be: "kCLLocationAccuracyThreeKilometers" setDistanceFilter to be: 1000 Set a performSelector:@selector(getLocation) withObject:nil afterDelay:900 Start again from step 1. I want to make this the most battery saving method possible and would like to see what fellow
