Update CLLocation Manager on another method - cllocationmanager

Question

I need to update my location outside the func locationManager
I have 2 labels that are being updated every second, and a call to an API from a HTTP POST Request. The problem is when I call the API (when I press the startButton, only the first value is passed :-/
class PressStartViewController: UIViewController,CLLocationManagerDelegate {
var manager: CLLocationManager!
var userLocation: CLLocation! = nil
var timer = NSTimer()
var time = 0
var minute = 0
#IBOutlet var bearingLabel: UILabel!
#IBOutlet var speedlabel: UILabel!
#IBOutlet var timerLabel: UILabel!
#IBOutlet var minuteLabel: UILabel!
#IBOutlet var startButton: UIButton!
#IBOutlet var startImage: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet var finishImage: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet var resumeImage: UIImageView!
func increaseTimer() {
time++
if time > 9 {
timerLabel.text = "\(time)"
} else {
timerLabel.text = "0\(time)"
}
if time > 59 {
time = 0
timerLabel.text = "00"
minute++
if minute > 9 {
minuteLabel.text = "\(minute)"
} else {
minuteLabel.text = "0\(minute)"
}
}
}
#IBAction func start(sender: AnyObject) {
timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(1, target: self, selector: Selector("increaseTimer"), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)
startImage.hidden = true
resumeImage.hidden = false
finishImage.hidden = false
sendPosition()
}
#IBAction func resume(sender: AnyObject) {
timer.invalidate()
startImage.hidden = false
resumeImage.hidden = true
finishImage.hidden = true
}
#IBAction func finish(sender: AnyObject) {
timer.invalidate()
time = 0
minute = 0
timerLabel.text = "00"
minuteLabel.text = "00"
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// print ("ent viewdidload")
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
//print (userId!)
manager = CLLocationManager()
manager.delegate = self
manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
manager.requestAlwaysAuthorization()
manager.startUpdatingHeading()
manager.startUpdatingLocation()
resumeImage.hidden = true
finishImage.hidden = true
}
func locationManager(manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateHeading newHeading: CLHeading) {
let heading = newHeading.magneticHeading
self.bearingLabel.text = String(format: "%.0fº",heading)

I did it myself, I had a new timer and call sendPosition every x seconds
It's working
