Your location is German, Berlin, Tiergarten

Can someone show me really simple code how can i get such information that put in my UILable?

Answer 1

You need access to a reverse geocoding service, which will take your lat/lon coordinates as input and return some kind of structured address of that location.

Google's is available here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/index.html#ReverseGeocoding

Answer 2

The MapKit framework (part of iPhone OS 3.0) provides this for you. Specifically the MKPlacemark object, which you can obtain for a set of co-ordinates using an MKReverseGeocoder.
