How to get user's current location (swift)?

Hi, everybody! I am a new one in programming on Swift. I have two questions:

1) What is better and easier to identify user's current location (latitude & longitude) AppleMaps or Google Maps?

2) How can I get current location?

I am really interested in getting location by Google Maps but if it is difficult or unreal I can change my mind and use AppleMaps.

Thanks for all answers!

Hello Artem! (Welcome to Swift!)

1) What is better and easier to identify user's current location (latitude & longitude) AppleMaps or Google Maps? I know how to pull the users location for AppleMaps. (not sure about the Google Maps.) Lat long is always the way to go.

2) How can I get current location? Great question.
