Core Location Framework Experience

Treehouse users,

Does anyone have experience using the Core Location Framework successfully in practice? I'm interested in making geo-location apps and I'm looking for somewhere to show how to successfully implement it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Eric

I have on several occasions. I'd be more than happy to help you out if you get stuck. The experience is much more rewarding (and you retain much more) if you try to tackle it yourself and use us as back-up.

Just a few resources to make your experience a wee-bit easier:

1) nshipster.com/core-location-in-ios-8/ 2) www.devfright.com/ios-6-core-location-tutorial/ 3) https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/CoreLocation/Reference/CoreLocation_Framework/

I added these by order of difficulty (many people see the Apple docs as being very intense... a bit too intense to really understand unless you're pretty seasoned).

Stephen, started a new thread, CoreLocation Project - Print My Location. Having an issue understanding why a simple project I'm working on isn't showing a print line of my location in the output. Post on the question if you get a chance. Thanks.

Thanks so much stephen! I had been making my way through the Apple docs, and it all makes sense but it is difficult to implement in practice. I'll keep in touch.
