CoreLocation Framework Issues - iphone

I have used Core location framework to receive my GPS coordinates in my IPOD.First time i can get the Latitude and longitude, then i got an error message , kCLErrorDomain Code=0 Operation Could not be completed.
But the error message never change.I think first time only it works
This is My code
#import "CoreLocationDemoViewController.h"
#implementation CoreLocationDemoViewController
#synthesize CLController;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
CLController = [[CoreLocationController alloc] init];
CLController.delegate = self;
[CLController.locMgr startUpdatingLocation];
}
- (void)locationUpdate:(CLLocation *)location {
speedLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"SPEED: %f", [location speed]];
latitudeLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"LATITUDE: %f", location.coordinate.latitude];
longitudeLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"LONGITUDE: %f", location.coordinate.longitude];
altitudeLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"ALTITUDE: %f", [location altitude]];
errorLabel.text = #"";
}
- (void)locationError:(NSError *)error {
if(!CLController) //.text )
{
errorLabel.text = [error description];
}
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)toInterfaceOrientation {
return YES;
}
- (void)viewDidUnload {
}
- (void)dealloc {
[CLController release];
[super dealloc];
}
#end
Anybody know what are the issues, help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
VKS

Yes iPod doesn't have GPS functionality. Test your app either in simulator or iPhone not on iPod.

Custom Pin in Mapkit

I am primarily a JAVA programmer but took on a bus tracker project for the iPhone, so I am not very comfortable with this yet. Please forgive any noobish mistakes. The following code is how it was when I got pins to work. Any changes I made to attempt showing images has been removed.
#import "UICBus_FirstViewController.h"

MKCoordinateRegion viewRegion = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(zoomLocation, 0.85*METERS_PER_MILE, 0.85*METERS_PER_MILE);
// 3
MKCoordinateRegion adjustedRegion = [__mapView regionThatFits:viewRegion];
// 4
[__mapView setRegion:adjustedRegion animated:YES];
CGRect frame = self.view.bounds;
frame.size.height = frame.size.height - 40;
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

}else{

So, can I get this code to display a custom pin or do I need to rework it? and how?
You can directly work with didAddAnnotationViews method and didSelectAnnotation possibly while displaying and selecting custom image resp.
I found this link to help you best with How do I add custom pins to the iPhone MapKit?
Hope this helps.

(MKAnnotationView *) mapView: not firing on first view

-(MKAnnotationView *) mapView: is not firing on the first run of the view.
I load pins in from a JSON call. The pins load fine with all the information but the call out(*see code) and turning them purple.(done in the -(MKAnnotationView *) mapView2:) however when I leave that tab and go back to it then it gets called and all is well.
Why this in not OK? Because end-users will not know that the map pins have a call out with phone call capabilities if they only check once.
Progress Flow: it loads the map. Loads the Pins. Changes the pins to purple with the call out. Then Zooms to pins and current location. But on the first run it does not Change the pins with call out.
I have narrowed it down to -(MKAnnotationView *) mapView: not firing the first time on several tests however on one test it did fire but only was called on the second of two pins till the view was reloaded.
I am open to any suggestions to improve any of the code weather it pertains to this or not. I always love learning better ways to do what I have done. So feel free with your criticisms.

iOS: foursquare request fails

I am assigned to work with foursquare just recently. I have an app that needs to be authenticated and access the foursquare environment. I am having trouble with the following code to access checkins. I had already successfully made the authentication but the thing is that when I made a check in request, an errorType invalid_auth code 401 appears. I just don't know what's wrong with this.
Here is my full code; I am using fsq wrapper I found in github:

Might you have somehow corrupted your oauth token?

Get the address of current user location

I follow some tutorial and mix my awful code. Now I can get my current location. And when I tap on a button it will trigger a pin which locates on my current location. If I tap on the pin, the message shows address of my current.
I have two question:
Why I can not get a more precise address? Now I receive address with country, city and district, but without name of the road.
How can I get the "text" of the address of current location? I want to display the address in a UILabel elsewhere but don't know how to do that.
Thank you very much!

You shouldn't really use MKReverseGeocoder as it has been depreciated by apple in iOS5, you should really use CLGeocoder. The following example will return a whole tonne of information which is based in the NSArray *placemarks, you can then iterate through them and call the keys in the assoc array.
#import "MapPoint.h"
#implementation MapPoint
#synthesize coordinate, title, dateAdded, subtitle, city, reverseGeo;
-(id)initWithCoordinates:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)c
title:(NSString *)t {
self = [super init];
if (self) {
coordinate = c;
[self setTitle: t];
[self setCurrentCity: [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:c.latitude longitude:c.longitude]];
[self setDateAdded: [[NSDate alloc] init]];
}
return self;
}
-(void)setCurrentCity: (CLLocation *)loc {
if (!self.reverseGeo) {
self.reverseGeo = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init];
}
[self.reverseGeo reverseGeocodeLocation: loc completionHandler:
^(NSArray *placemarks, NSError *error) {
for (CLPlacemark *placemark in placemarks) {
NSDateFormatter *formatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[formatter setTimeStyle:NSDateFormatterNoStyle];
[formatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterLongStyle];
NSString *dateString = [formatter stringFromDate: [self dateAdded]];
[self setSubtitle: [dateString stringByAppendingString: [placemark locality] ] ];
}
}];
}
#end
Just place this delegate methods, I hope this may help you.

I have got the same issue, MKReverseGeocoder doesn't always return the full address, beacause sometimes the coordinates is not accurate enough and the service can't generate an approximative address.
In order to get best results i have implemented an other reverse geocoding against yahoo. So basically if MKReverseGeocoder (google) doesn't return a full address, i query yahoo who can generate an approximative one.
On the other hand be carreful with MKReverseGeocoder it has been deprecated in IOS 5, they recommand to use CLGeocoder instead

Please help me out...
thanks in adavance.
Showing user current location is simple.
-(void)start{
NSLog(#"Start");
mapView.showsUserLocation=YES; //This will show the current location as blue dot in your mapview
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
}
-(void)stop{
mapView.showsUserLocation=NO;
[locationManager stopUpdatingLocation];
}
In your viewForAnnotation Delegate
- (MKAnnotationView *)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView viewForAnnotation:(id <MKAnnotation>)annotation {
if (annotation == mapView.userLocation)
{
// This code will execute when the current location is called.
return nil;
}
else
{
MKPinAnnotationView *annView=[[MKPinAnnotationView alloc] initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier:#"currentloc"];
annView.pinColor = MKPinAnnotationColorRed;
annView.animatesDrop=YES;
annView.canShowCallout = YES;
annView.calloutOffset = CGPointMake(-5, 5);
return annView;
}
