clgeocoder

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

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 the following code: CLGeocoder *_geo = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init]; CLRegion *region = [[CLRegion alloc] initCircularRegionWithCenter: CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(37.33233141, -122.03121860) radius:100 identifier:@"San Francisco"]; [_geo geocodeAddressString:@"Starbucks" inRegion:region completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) { NSLog("%@", placemarks); }]; This returns a Starbucks location in the Philippines even though the center is in the middle of San Francisco. (NSArray *) $3 = 0x07cd9d10 <__NSArrayM 0x7cd9d10>( Starbuck's, Metro Manila, Quezon City, Republic of the

Currently I can drop pins around the map. Now I want the annotation title to display the address of where the pin is dropped. I've had a look at this but cant get mine to work: Set annotation's title as current address Code in my ViewController.m Updated. - (void)addPinToMap:(UIGestureRecognizer *)gestureRecognizer { if (gestureRecognizer.state != UIGestureRecognizerStateBegan) return; CGPoint touchPoint = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self.map]; CLLocationCoordinate2D touchMapCoordinate = [self.map convertPoint:touchPoint toCoordinateFromView:self.map]; CLLocation *currentLocation = [

Given a longitude and latitude not my current location how can I perform a reverse geocode lookup using GLGeocoder ? self.geoCoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init]; self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; self.locationManager.delegate = self; // [self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation]; [self.geoCoder reverseGeocodeLocation: locationManager.location completionHandler: ^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) { // [self.locationManager stopUpdatingLocation]; CLPlacemark *placemark = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0]; // Long address // NSString *locatedAt = [[placemark

I'm trying to parse a location (CLLocation) into a String. func locationToString (currentLocation: CLLocation) -> String? { var whatToReturn: String? CLGeocoder().reverseGeocodeLocation(currentLocation, completionHandler: { (placemarks: [AnyObject]!, error: NSError!) in if error == nil && placemarks.count > 0 { let location = placemarks[0] as CLPlacemark whatToReturn = "\(location.locality) \(location.thoroughfare) \(location.subThoroughfare)" } }) return whatToReturn } Obviously, whatToReturn always returns null, because completionHandler runs in the background. I'm having a hard time
