How to get current longitude and latitude in xcode simulator?

Question

I am trying to get current long and lat by location but i am getting both 0.0000, the following code i am using

(CLLocationCoordinate2D) getLocation{
    CLLocationManager *locationManager = [[[CLLocationManager alloc] init] autorelease];
    locationManager.delegate = self;
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
    locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone;
    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];
    CLLocation *location = [locationManager location];
    CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = [location coordinate];

    return coordinate;
}

And to call it use:

CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = [self getLocation];
NSString *latitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", coordinate.latitude];
NSString *longitude = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", coordinate.longitude];

NSLog(@"*dLatitude : %@", latitude);
NSLog(@"*dLongitude : %@",longitude);

i also added corelocation to the project. please advise me.

If you want to set your current location Check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/214416/set-the-location-in-iphone-simulator — Navnath Godse, Apr 18 '13 at 12:07

Implement delegate method of location manager

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation: (CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation

and you can get lat and lng using newLocation.coordinate.latitude and newLocation.coordinate.longitude

And for set current location in simulator you can follow @ios_av

You have to add Custom Location using this path: Select iPhone Simulator and select Debug -->Loction --> Custom Location in menu

IPHone simulator always give 0.0000 for lat and long because it doesn't detect the location.

You can add Custom Location using this path: Select iPhone Simulator and select Debug -->Loction --> Custom Location

try this

Run project in iPhone Simulator
Create in TextEdit file following file, call it MyOffice for example. Make extension as .gpx
Select in Xcode at the Simulate area Add GPX File to Project...
Add created file from menu to project.
Now you can see your location in Simulate area:

first click on simulator device and when simulator will be showing then some options will be showing above tool bar such as iossimulator,file,edit,hardware,debug,window,help, you will click on debug and go on your process. – Tarun Chaudhary Apr 18 '13 at 13:04

in simulator you can force a local position: go to menu:debug:position and chose one of the voices (some simulates movements via a preregistered route) or enter coordinates of your choice
