ReverseGeocodeLocation City not accurate enough - ios

Question

I'm receiving an array of placemarks from :
-(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations
{
..
}
when printing to console using NSLog, the placemark gives me data in the form of:
..HIDDEN.. St., Brighton, MA 02135, United States #
<+42.HIDDEN,-71.HIDDEN> +/- 100.00m
But when using the following code, I get Boston as the city
[placemark.addressDictionary objectForKey:(NSString*)kABPersonAddressCityKey]);
Brighton is a part of Boston, but how can the console log be showing me a more specific location than the City key..?

Answer 1

It looks like the best you can do with placemarks is
[locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBest];
This post may be of some use iOS: get Accurate Reverse Geocoding using CLLocationManager?
It's also worth noting that using Boston in place of Brighton is still a valid address for the same location.

This worked for me:
- (void) resetLocationData{
locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;
[locationManager setDesiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBest];
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
NSLog(#"LAT: %f", [locationManager location].coordinate.latitude);
NSString *latitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", [locationManager location].coordinate.latitude];
NSString *longitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f", [locationManager location].coordinate.longitude];
NSString *latlong = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#,%#", latitude, longitude];
NSLog(#"LONG: %f", [locationManager location].coordinate.longitude);
NSLog(#"Combined Location: %#", latlong);
[[locationManager location]timestamp];
}
#pragma mark - CLLOCATION STUFF
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
self.currentLocation = newLocation;
CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
[geocoder reverseGeocodeLocation:self.currentLocation completionHandler:^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"Placemark is %#", placemarks);
CLPlacemark *place = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#"placemark 0: %#", place);
// locationLabel.text = placemarks;
}];
if(newLocation.horizontalAccuracy <= 100.0f) {
[locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
}
}
LOG OUTPUT:
2013-01-13 23:23:05.508 CLLocationTest[47617:907] Placemark is (
"XX XXXXXX Rd, XX XXXXXX Rd, Brighton, MA 02135, United States # <+42.XXXXXX,-71.XXXXXXX> +/- 100.00m"
