Develop an application to get Map location and send email based on the Contact information.
Project Framework and other dependencies
Project Framework and other dependencies
- MapKit (Embeds Google Map)
- CoreLocation (get location based on latitude and longitude)
- MessageUI (For email functionality)
- AddressBook and AddressBookUI (To access contact information)
- XCode adds three frameworks by default for View Based project (UIKit, Foundation, CoreGraphics)
- Google URL to get latitude and longitude based on Zip code and other address information
It could return results in CSV format of 4 elements, in which 2nd and 3rd elements are latitude and longitude respectively.
NSString *qUrl = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat : @"http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?output=csv&q=%@", zipCode];

//CSV format
NSString *qResults = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString: qUrl] encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
Latitude and Longitude
Latitude : horizontal lines starts from Equator (North and South) Min, Sec , e.g. 45 Deg N
Longitude : vertical lines starts from Green Meridian (East and West) Min, Sec , e.g. 45 E
The longitude line goes from north pole to south pole.
Project Setup
- Create View Based Project
- XCode will create necessary ViewController header (.h), implementation (.m) and View (.xib) files.
- Update above .h and .m files with below code
ViewController.h
