We try to use leaflet map and exploring the options. One question is any options available in your API to get the Lat, Lng from a Physical address? Please advise. This option is very useful for us.
Thanks,

How to get location details from a longitude/latitude value? Is there anyone who can help me with this situation.
You can use CLGeocoder to get the details from latitude and longitude.
Check out the CLGeoCoder Class Reference
You should take a look at a MaxMind GeoIP API available for many languages:
Here
Take a look at the google maps apis reverse geocoding functionality.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/#ReverseGeocoding
you would make a request like this:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=40.714224,-73.961452&sensor=true
and receive a json encoded object containing a guess on the address (including city of course)
This is called 'reverse geocoding', see http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/MapKit/Reference/MKReverseGeocoder_Class/Reference/Reference.html
I am designing a project in which I have used two text fields. One is for source address and another one is for destination address.
Now, I want to get latitude and longitude of both addresses and then draw it on map view.
How can I accomplish that?
check this post for geocoding

How do I do geocoding (NOT reverse geocoding) on iPhone?
Do check out SVGeocoder. It's able to perform both forward and reverse gecoding via Google API. Not to mention it's also very easy to use.
In our iPhone application we have a requirement to display UK County and Area name of a location ( we have latitude and longitude) . Initially we used MAPKit framework (reverse geocoding) to get this information. But during testing we found that we are not getting correct data from Google always.
Can somebody suggest any alternative method to get this information ? We are ready to use paid services also.
You can take a look at CloudMade. They have pretty decent solutions for anything map service related. They use source from OpenStreetMap but you can do all sorts of customization to the maps. Another option is through Bing maps. It looks neat but I haven't tried it myself.
I have implemented one application .In which i want to get latitude and longitude from the address.I dont want to use java script.Is it possble then please help me.
AFAIK, MKMapKit does not support this.
MapKit has no geocoding support (only reverse geocoding) but Google offers a HTTP Geocoding service that's very easy to use – assuming you comply with their license terms:
Note: the geocoding service may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited.
Use the example from Apple’s «Location Awareness Programming guide: Geocoding Location Data» to pinpoint your location on the map, then call Google Geocoding Service (post a request, parse the result json/xml data) to get the address.
Is it possible to get the street/area where the user currently is by using the CoreLocation framework? So if I get the user's longitude and latitude position, can I get the address (xx street, yy city, z state) from that position?
Thanks.
Someone had already posted the question before. Just found out Get street address at lat/long pair
What you would need is a reverse geocoding service, that will translate a lat/lon coordinate set in to an address. I doubt that this, or access to one, is included in CoreLocation.
You could look into a third-party provider such as Google Maps:

There are also other work-arounds that might get you close. For example by using Multimap's routing API as described in the following:

Agreed - you need a reverse geocoding service - this is not included in Core Location. There is a fairly complete list of reverse geocoders here link text
