Can i use saved co-ordinates for reverse geocode? - ios

Question

I have an app that gives a user there current location via reverse geocode using the following.
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation{
NSLog(#"Location: %#", newLocation);
CLLocation *currentLocation = newLocation;
if (currentLocation != nil) {
latitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.latitude];
longitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%.8f", currentLocation.coordinate.longitude];
//end hear for just long lat
}
[geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:currentLocation completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
if (error == nil && [placemarks count] >0) {
placemark = [placemarks lastObject];
self.addressLable.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#\n%# %#\n%#\n%#",
placemark.subThoroughfare, placemark.thoroughfare,
placemark.postalCode, placemark.locality,
placemark.administrativeArea,
placemark.country];
streetandNo = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#", placemark.subThoroughfare,placemark.thoroughfare];
suberb = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", placemark.locality];
}else {
NSLog(#"%#", error.debugDescription);
}
}];
[self performSelector:#selector(stopupdate) withObject:nil afterDelay:2.0];
}
This works perfectly. What i want to know is there a way to give location coordinates that are previously saved and then basically run the same process? I have looked at the apple docs and every thing i can find refers to using current location. I am hopping that there is a way to create a location under CLLocation and set my own long and Latt but i can't seem to find a reference that leads me in the right direction.

Answer 1

float longitude = Your saved longitude;
float latitude = Your saved latitude;
CLLocation *location = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:latitude longitude:longitude];
Now use location in your code instead of currentLocation
[geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:location completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
if (error == nil && [placemarks count] >0) {
placemark = [placemarks lastObject];
self.addressLable.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#\n%# %#\n%#\n%#",
placemark.subThoroughfare, placemark.thoroughfare,
placemark.postalCode, placemark.locality,
placemark.administrativeArea,
placemark.country];
streetandNo = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#", placemark.subThoroughfare,placemark.thoroughfare];
suberb = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", placemark.locality];
}else {
NSLog(#"%#", error.debugDescription);
}
}];
May be it will work for you.
