Summary

Core Location and MapKit go hand in hand, offering ways to locate a device’s geoposition and present related location information in a coherent map-based presentation. In this chapter, you discovered how to use Core Location to obtain real-time latitude and longitude coordinates and how to reverse geocode those coordinates into real address information. You read about working with speed and course headings both in their native and computed forms. You learned how to set up a map, adjust its region, and add a user location and custom annotations. Here are a few final thoughts for you before you navigate away from this chapter:

• Know your audience and how they will be using your application before deciding how you will approach your location needs. Some Core Location features work better for driving, others for walking and biking.
