cllocation

With a CLLocation object (content e.g. latitude = 48.196169, longitude = 11.620237), I try to get the current city and country like: if(!geocoder) { geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init]; } if (geocoder.geocoding) [geocoder cancelGeocode]; [geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:lo completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) { if(devMode) { NSLog(@"Found placemarks: %@, error: %@", placemarks, error); } if (error == nil && [placemarks count] > 0) { // MY CODE - here placemarks is always (null) } else { if(devMode) NSLog(@"%@", error.debugDescription); } }]; mostly, that works great. But

I have a MKMapView that has a UISearchBar on the top, and I want the user to be able to type a address, and to find that address and drop a pin on it. What I don't know is how to turn the address string into longitude and latitude, so I can make a CLLocation object. Does anyone know how I can do this? arjavlad You may find your answer in this question. iOS - MKMapView place annotation by using address instead of lat / long By User Romes. NSString *location = @"some address, state, and zip"; CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init]; [geocoder geocodeAddressString:location

using Firebase as my backend, I've got a series of strings that are latitude and longitude coordinates, how can I convert them to CLLocationCoordinate2D so that I can use them for annotations? Here is the code that gets the info from Firebase every time its updated var UpdateRef = Firebase(url:"https://ici.firebaseio.com/users") UpdateRef.observeEventType(.ChildChanged, withBlock: { (snapshot) in let MomentaryLatitude = snapshot.value["latitude"] as? String let MomentaryLongitude = snapshot.value["longitude"] as? String let ID = snapshot.value["ID"] as? String println("\(MomentaryLatitude)")

I was wondering how to convert latitude and longitude values of CLLocationCoordinate2D to numbers or string values. Iver tried a few different ways but they arene't working: CLLocationCoordinate2D centerCoord; centerCoord.latitude = self.locModel.userLocation.coordinate.latitude ; centerCoord.longitude = self.locModel.userLocation.coordinate.longitude; NSString *tmpLat = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%g", centerCoord.latitude]; NSString *tmpLong = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%g", centerCoord.longitude]; NSLog("User's latitude is: %@", tmpLat); NSLog("User's longitude is: %@",

I've got an sqlite db with long and lat of shops and I want to find out the closest 5 shops. So the following code works fine. if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, sqlStatement, -1, &compiledStatement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) { while (sqlite3_step(compiledStatement) == SQLITE_ROW) { NSString *branchStr = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(compiledStatement, 0)]; NSNumber *fLat = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:(float)sqlite3_column_double(compiledStatement, 1)]; NSNumber *fLong = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:(float)sqlite3_column_double(compiledStatement, 2)]; NSLog(@"Address %@, Lat = %@,

I need a way of categorising the strength of the GPS signal. So far I have come across the horizontalAccuracy property of CLLocation ( Class Reference ). To be more specific I need to create something like the following; the issue I'm having is filling in the if statements. if (someLocation.horizontalAccuracy ...) { // No Signal } else if (someLocation.horizontalAccuracy ...) { // Poor Signal } else if (someLocation.horizontalAccuracy ...) { // Average Signal } else if (someLocation.horizontalAccuracy ...) { // Good Signal } else { // Excellent Signal } Please can someone assist me in this?
