Creating a Location-Aware Application

Many iPhone and Mac users have a, shall we say, “heightened” interest in Apple Computer; visiting Apple’s campus in Cupertino, California, can be a life-changing experience. For these special users, we’re going to create a Core Location-powered application that keeps you informed of just how far away you are.

The application will be created in two parts: The first introduces Core Location and displays the number of miles from the current location to Cupertino. In the second section, we use the iPhone’s compass to display an arrow that points users in the right direction, should they get off track.
