I am using below code for getting longitude and latitude , but it gives me diifferent values even if I am not moving from my place
locationmanager=[[CLLocationManager alloc]init];
geocoder=[[CLGeocoder alloc]init];
locationmanager.delegate=self;
locationmanager.desiredAccuracy=kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
if([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
{
[locationmanager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
[locationmanager startUpdatingLocation];
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
UIAlertView *alert=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"error" message:#"Failed to get Location." delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil];
[alert show];
}
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
CLLocation *currentlocation=newLocation;
if (currentlocation!=nil)
{
longitude=currentlocation.coordinate.longitude;
latitude=currentlocation.coordinate.latitude;
}
[geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:currentlocation completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
} ];
}
please guide me, I want same location, if I am not moving from my place.
Cellular network location gives an approximate area were the phone existing. It is based on the service providers tower.So current location will automatically changes a bit depending on network/gps location tracking/accuracy.
I recommend you to get location using distance filter, so until you are in that region your current address will remain same as location only updates for every X meters.
locationManager.distanceFilter = 100;//Your own distance
i.e.,
self.locationManager = [[[CLLocationManager alloc] init] autorelease];
_locationManager.delegate = self;
// This is the most important property to set for the manager. It ultimately determines how the manager will
// attempt to acquire location and thus, the amount of power that will be consumed.
_locationManager.distanceFilter = 100;
// Once configured, the location manager must be "started".
[_locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
Hope this helps.
In ViewController.h file:
#interface ViewController : UIViewController<CLLocationManagerDelegate>
{
CLLocationManager *location;
}
In ViewController.m file:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
location = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
location.delegate = self;
location.distanceFilter = 100;
[location requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
[location requestAlwaysAuthorization];
[location startUpdatingLocation];
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations
{
CLLocation *locati = [locations lastObject];
float lat=locati.coordinate.latitude;
float lon=locati.coordinate.longitude;
NSLog(#"%f %f",lat,lon);
[location stopUpdatingLocation];
}
In your info.plist add :

I have to find the current location and i am using this code
-(CLLocationCoordinate2D) getLocation{
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
CLLocation *location = [locationManager location];
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = [location coordinate];
return coordinate;
}
- (void)getCurrentLocation{
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = [self getLocation];
NSString *latitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", coordinate.latitude];
NSString *longitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", coordinate.longitude];
NSLog(#"Latitude = %#", latitude);
NSLog(#"Longitude = %#", longitude);
}
but latitude and longitude is coming zero? and i have called these method in viewDidLoad
[self getCurrentLocation];
[self getLocation];
why is it so please help me. thanks
I hope , Following info can help you:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
#interface yourController : UIViewController <CLLocationManagerDelegate> {
CLLocationManager *locationManager;
}
#end
and add this:
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] >= 8.0)
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
Callback function
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
NSLog(#"OldLocation %f %f", oldLocation.coordinate.latitude, oldLocation.coordinate.longitude);
NSLog(#"NewLocation %f %f", newLocation.coordinate.latitude, newLocation.coordinate.longitude);
}
You also have to add a string for the
[`NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription`]
You need to use "CLLocationManagerDelegate".
Just go through this tutorial. How To Get the User Location in iPhone App
Here you will learn about CoreLocation Framework.
This is the delegate method which will return you current lat-long.
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
And also make sure your app authorize to use location services.
And Also run your app on device, or if you want to see the result in simulator, follow the steps mentioned in tutorial.
Step 1 : #import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h> import framework. Also add framework in your project.
Step 2 : Make sure your view-controller implement CLLocationManagerDelegate
#interface MyLocationViewController : UIViewController <CLLocationManagerDelegate>
Step 3 : Define class instance of CLLocationManager
#implementation MyLocationViewController {
CLLocationManager *locationManager;
}
Step 4 :
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
if([locationManager respondsToSelector:#selector(requestAlwaysAuthorization)]) {
//iOS 8.0 onwards
[locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
}
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
Step 5 : Here is your CLLocationManagerDelegate
method implementation
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(#"didFailWithError: %#", error);
UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Error" message:#"Failed to Get Your Location" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[errorAlert show];
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
NSLog(#"didUpdateToLocation: %#", newLocation);
CLLocation *currentLocation = newLocation;
if (currentLocation != nil) {
NSLog(#"Longitude %.8f",currentLocation.coordinate.longitude);
NSLog(#"Latitude %.8f",currentLocation.coordinate.latitude);
}
}
First go to your info.plist and right click on it and select the source code option.
Then add the following lines after the <dict> keyword
<key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
<string>This App wants to Know your location</string>
<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>This App wants to Know your location</string>
Without this, you can't get CLLocation working in iOS 9.0.
Now follow the instruction.
Import
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
and list the CoreLocation delegate like
#interface ViewController ()<CLLocationManagerDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
#end
Then in the viewDidLoad method add the following lines-
self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc]init];
self.locationManager.delegate=self;
self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
if ([self.locationManager respondsToSelector:#selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)]){
[self.locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
Now implement the delegate methods
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(#"didFailWithError: %#", error);
UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Sorry"
message:#"Failed to Get Your Location"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"OK"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[errorAlert show];
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
NSLog(#"didUpdateToLocation: %#", newLocation);
CLLocation *currentLocation = newLocation;
if (currentLocation != nil) {
NSLog(#"%#", [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.4f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude]);
NSLog(#"%#", [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.4f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude]);
}
}
It takes some time for the CLLocationManager to get the coordinates. Therefore, the CLLocationManager uses a delegate to notify when it received the location updates. Therefore, you cannot get the result immediately. Please have a look at this post to see how it's done.
Well, I wanted you to read the doc, still I am posting the solution.
-(void)viewDidLoad{
[self initLocationManager];
}
-(void)initLocationManager{
self.locationManager=[[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
self.locationManager.delegate=self;
if (([_locationManager respondsToSelector:#selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)])) {
[_locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
self.locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
[self.locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
Then handle the location updates in the CLLocationManager delegate method like below
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray<CLLocation *> *)locations{
// If it's a relatively recent event, turn off updates to save power.
CLLocation* location = [locations lastObject];
NSDate* eventDate = location.timestamp;
NSTimeInterval howRecent = [eventDate timeIntervalSinceNow];
if (abs(howRecent) < 15.0) {
NSLog(#"%f,%f",location.coordinate.latitude,location.coordinate.longitude);
}
}
Update
To make it work, you need to do two things
Enable Background Modes from Capabilities Tab, and choose Location Updates, see image below
Add NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in Info Tab, into the plist, see image
It will start working.
Hope it helps. Cheers.
Use this code it works
firstly add NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription as string in info.plist
in .h
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
#interface ExamListVC : UIViewController<CLLocationManagerDelegate>
{
CLLocationManager * locationManager;
}
#end
in .m use this code
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
locationManager . delegate = self;
[self initLocationManager];
}
-(void)initLocationManager
{
locationManager=[[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate=self;
if (([locationManager respondsToSelector:#selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)]))
{
[locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations
{
CLLocation* location = [locations lastObject];
NSDate* eventDate = location.timestamp;
NSTimeInterval howRecent = [eventDate timeIntervalSinceNow];
if (abs(howRecent) < 15.0)
{
NSLog(#"Current Coordinates are %f,%f",location.coordinate.latitude,location.coordinate.longitude);
[locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
}
}
it will give output like
[2390:96060] Current Coordinates are 37.332331,-122.031219
I know there is a lot of questions related to that,But I cant able to link with my Issue. In my app,I am fetching the Nearby Restaurant,Initially,If user clicks on 'Nearby' button I fetch the lat,long,placemark details,Using this code below.
-(void)setUpUserLocation
{
BOOL locationAllowed = [CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled];
if (locationAllowed==NO)
{
UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:#"No authorization"
message:#"Please, enable access to your location"
delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:#"Open Settings", nil];
[alertView show];
}
else
{
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;
if ([locationManager respondsToSelector:#selector(requestWhenInUseAuthorization)]) {
[locationManager requestWhenInUseAuthorization];
}
}
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations
{
CLLocation *location=[locations lastObject];
CLGeocoder *geocoder=[[CLGeocoder alloc]init];
[geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:location completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
CLPlacemark *placemark = placemarks[0];
NSDictionary *addressDictionary = [placemark addressDictionary];
}];
[self stopSignificantChangesUpdates];
}
- (void)stopSignificantChangesUpdates
{
[locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
locationManager = nil;
}
My Question is, If the user location changes, how do I give the user an alert like Your location changed, you need to update it then only you can get a Nearby Restaurant Location popup should come once the user location changes otherwise don't want to call the didUpdateLocation everytime. I called startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges then it did not called the didUpdateLocation in first time itself.Any Help on this.
check after some time or check after user's movement(whatever you want),if condition is true then call service...
I think it help you;
Step 1
(void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
//set the amount of metres travelled before location update is made
[locationManager setDistanceFilter:100];
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
[locationManager requestAlwaysAuthorization];
// call the timer with 5 minutes cap using 5 * 60 = 300
[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:300.0f target:self selector:#selector(sendlocation1) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
Step 2
Every 100 Meter change Device This Method is called :
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
NSLog(#"%f",newLocation.coordinate.latitude);
NSLog(#"%f",newLocation.coordinate.longitude);
CLLocationDistance meters = [newLocation distanceFromLocation:oldLocation];
if(meters >=100)
{
// call webservice for location is updated
[self sendlocation1];
}else
{
// call normal method
}
}
I have to find the current location and i am using this code
-(CLLocationCoordinate2D) getLocation{
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
CLLocation *location = [locationManager location];
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = [location coordinate];
return coordinate;
}
- (void)getCurrentLocation{
CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = [self getLocation];
NSString *latitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", coordinate.latitude];
NSString *longitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", coordinate.longitude];
NSLog(#"Latitude = %#", latitude);
NSLog(#"Longitude = %#", longitude);
}
but latitude and longitude is coming zero? and i have called these method in viewDidLoad
[self getCurrentLocation];
[self getLocation];
why is it so please help me. thanks

I am using Core Location framework to getting location in iOS. I use, CLLocationManager *locationManager; and call [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
Problem is I only need instantaneous location but startUpdatingLocation keep on giving me location. To stop this I can use [self.locationManager stopUpdatingLocation], but this look like a way out or hack.
Is there any better way to just get current location in iOS?
in your .h file
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
#interface LocationSearchViewController : UIViewController<UITextFieldDelegate,CLLocationManagerDelegate>
{
CLLocationManager *locationManager;
}
in your .m file
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
#pragma mark - CLLocationManagerDelegate
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(#"didFailWithError: %#", error);
UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Error" message:#"Failed to Get Your Location" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[errorAlert show];
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
NSLog(#"didUpdateToLocation: %#", newLocation);
[locationManager stopUpdatingLocation]; // when u got the lat and long it stop uoatde the location
CLLocation *currentLocation = newLocation;
if (currentLocation != nil) {
NSString *getcurrlong = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude];
NSSting *getcurrlat = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude];
}
}
You can't think of location in those precise terms. You'll get back increasingly accurate locations from the location manager and it's up to you to decide when it's accurate enough. You have to weigh this against power usage and time. The location updates will never be completely accurate. The will never be returned immediately. The device has to power up hardware, then listen for GPS/WiFi/Cell signals and use all those to calculate location.
There's no way to ask for "my precise current location" and have it given to you immediately. Location is not a property like [NSDate date]. You can only ask for best-estimate location updates and they will only come to you in imprecise measurements, and never instantaneously (excepting cached location).
Check it
-(void)getCurrentLocation
{
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
locationManager.delegate = self;
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
startLocation = nil;
}
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
if (startLocation == nil)
{
startLocation = newLocation;
[locationManager setDelegate:nil];
locationManager = nil;
}
}
EDIT: Ok, I just have noticed that the problem is exclusive of iOS 7. I'm still being unable to solve it, however, so I suppouse I'll try with the sugestions bellow. Thanks to all!
¡Hi! I'm programming a navigator app, and I need to update the user position whenever is possible. I have two View Controllers that use CLLocation manager. In both of them I've added this line:
#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>
And then added the to the interface declaration, and I'm setting this as a property in the .h file, and synthetizing afterwards:
#property (strong, nonatomic) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
After that, I'm launching de locationManager in the viewDidLoad, this way:
if(self){
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
//locationManager.delegate = self;
[locationManager setDelegate:self];
[locationManager setDistanceFilter:kCLHeadingFilterNone];
[locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation];
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
And here are my delegate methods.
For the first View:
#pragma mark - CLLocationManagerDelegate
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(#"didFailWithError: %#", error);
UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Error" message:#"Failed to Get Your Location" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[errorAlert show];
}
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{
NSLog(#"didUpdateToLocation: %#", newLocation);
CLLocation *currentLocation = newLocation;
if (currentLocation != nil) {
homeLatitude = [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude] doubleValue];
homeLongitude = [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude] doubleValue];
NSLog(#"Updated! -> hl = %f, hlg = %f", homeLatitude, homeLongitude);
}
}
For the second view. As you can see, I replaced the old didUpdateToLocation with didUpdateLocations, as a desperate try.
#pragma mark - CLLocationManagerDelegate
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
NSLog(#"didFailWithError: %#", error);
UIAlertView *errorAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Error" message:#"Failed to Get Your Location" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[errorAlert show];
}
/*- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation

NSLog(#"didUpdateToLocation: %#", newLocation);
CLLocation *currentLocation = newLocation;
if (currentLocation != nil) {
NSLog(#"Tarzan boy");
_testLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Oh DAMN!!!!"];
}
}*/
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations {
NSLog(#"didUpdateToLocation: %#", [locations lastObject]);
CLLocation *currentLocation = [locations lastObject];
if (currentLocation != nil) {
currentLatitude = [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude] doubleValue];
currentLongitude = [[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude] doubleValue];
NSLog(#"Updated! (MapWithRoutesViewController) -> hl = %f, hlg = %f", currentLatitude, currentLongitude);
_testLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"Update! -> hl = %f, hlg = %f", currentLatitude, currentLongitude];
//Aquí es donde borramos el lugar al que llegaron.
if(mapView){
if(followMe){
CLLocationCoordinate2D *c = &((CLLocationCoordinate2D){.latitude = currentLatitude, .longitude = currentLongitude});
[mapView.mapView as_setCenterCoordinate:*c zoomLevel:32 animated:NO];
_ourStepper.value = [mapView.mapView as_zoomLevel];
}
if([mapView getNearestDestinyDistance:currentLocation] < 150.0){
NSLog(#"Hay que eliminar el primer destino del MapView");
mapView.destinoActual++;
}
if([mapView getNearestPointDistance:currentLocation] > 200.0){
NSLog(#"Hay que recalcular la ruta al destinoActual");
SpinnerView *spinner = [SpinnerView loadSpinnerIntoView:self.view];
spinner.tag = 98;
while (![mapView recalculateRoutesTo:currentLocation]) {
//do nothin...
}
[spinner removeSpinner];
}
}
}
//[locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
}
As you can see, the line
//[locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
is commented. Well, the problem is driving me crazy is that the code above works as a charm in the first view controller, and update periodically as I expected. But in the second view, it works only the first time, and never updates again. I programmed these methods in different times, so I can't remember if I did something to the first view I didn't to the second. But they are in the same app, so I assume there's no problem with libraries or permissions. Any help or hint is welcome, thanks!
First off, if you are doing navigation, you should be registering for significant change notifications. Go read the documentation on that here. It's much more efficient. You will have to turn it off when you are not using it, but it's much better. Support for it goes all the way back to iOS 4. That's 99% of the user population for sure.
I had a similar situation in my application and implemented a singleton that handles all location updates and then fires off NSNotificaitons to the foreground threads.
Create a singleton class that handles the location updates View would
register to listen to LOCATION_CHANGE updates perhaps Background
singleton object registers as the delegate for the location manager
This may not be the answer you are looking for but i know it worked in my case.
Found the solution here. The locationManager works when I launch it this way:
if(self){
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
[locationManager setDelegate:self];
[locationManager setDistanceFilter:kCLHeadingFilterNone];
//change the desired accuracy to kCLLocationAccuracyBest
[locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBest];
//SOLUTION: set setPausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically to NO
[locationManager setPausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically:NO];
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
I'll work anyway in performance like Rob suggested. Thanks to all for the help!
