Convert coordinates to City name?

Question

How to get an address from coordinates using MapKit?

I have this code when long press on the map it gets the coordinates:

func didLongPressMap(sender         


        

Answer 1

Update Swift 4

addressDictionary was deprecated in iOS 11.0

let geoCoder = CLGeocoder()
let location = CLLocation(latitude: 37.769193, longitude: -122.426512)
geoCoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler: { (placemarks, error) -> Void in

// Place details
var placeMark: CLPlacemark!
placeMark = placemarks?[0]

// Complete address as PostalAddress
print(placeMark.postalAddress as Any)  //  Import Contacts

// Location name
if let locationName = placeMark.name  {
    print(locationName)
}

// Street address
if let street = placeMark.thoroughfare {
   print(street)
}

// Country
if let country = placeMark.country {
   print(country)
}
})

More Data can be retrieved

name, thoroughfare, subThoroughfare, locality, subLocality, administrativeArea, subAdministrativeArea, postalcode, isoCountryCode, country, inlandWater, areaOfInterest

Update:

let location = CLLocation(latitude: 37.3321, longitude: -122.0318)

    guard let placemark = placemarks?.first else {
        let errorString = error?.localizedDescription ?? "Unexpected Error"
        print("Unable to reverse geocode the given location. Error: \(errorString)")
        return

    let reversedGeoLocation = ReversedGeoLocation(with: placemark)

Old/Deprecated answer:

Thanks to @Kampai's answer, here's a Swift 3 compatible and safer way (no forcing !):

let geoCoder = CLGeocoder()
let location = CLLocation(latitude: touchCoordinate.latitude, longitude: touchCoordinate.longitude)

geoCoder.reverseGeocodeLocation(location, completionHandler: { placemarks, error in
    guard let addressDict = placemarks?[0].addressDictionary else {
        return
    }

    // Print each key-value pair in a new row
    addressDict.forEach { print($0) }

    // Print fully formatted address
    if let formattedAddress = addressDict["FormattedAddressLines"] as? [String] {
        print(formattedAddress.joined(separator: ", "))
    }

    // Access each element manually
    if let locationName = addressDict["Name"] as? String {
        print(locationName)
    }
    if let street = addressDict["Thoroughfare"] as? String {
        print(street)
    }
    if let city = addressDict["City"] as? String {
        print(city)
    }
    if let zip = addressDict["ZIP"] as? String {
        print(zip)
    }
    if let country = addressDict["Country"] as? String {
        print(country)
    }
})

Don't forget NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription and NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription keys in Swift 3

Answer 3

In didUpdateToLocation method:

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:
    (CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation{
    CLLocation *location = [locationManager location];


    CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = [location coordinate];


    latitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.12f", coordinate.latitude];
    longitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.12f", coordinate.longitude];

    CLLocation *location1 = [[CLLocation alloc]
                             initWithLatitude:latitude.floatValue
                             longitude:longitude.floatValue];

    self.myGeocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];

    [self.myGeocoder
     reverseGeocodeLocation:location1
     completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
        if (error == nil &&
             [placemarks count] > 0){
            placemark = [placemarks lastObject];
            NSString*    vendorLocation=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",
                                          placemark.locality,
                                          placemark.subLocality];
            NSLog(@"%@",vendorLocation);
        }
    }];
}
