How can I get the coordinates of any given address using CoreLocation framework and not google Maps API?

Question

Hi All,

I'm interested in finding out the coordinates of "any" given address and not just the current location using only CoreLocation.Framework. I do not wish to use google maps API or yahoo maps or any other third Party maps API. Is it possible? How can I get the coordinates of any address?

Thanks

It's not possible, either use a known API or write a geocoder yourself.

CoreLocation only returns GPS coordinates.

MapKit enables you to embed a Map in your application and you can use the provided reverse geocoder to turn CoreLocation coordinates into addresses.

If you want to turn addresses into coordinates though, you'll have to use something else.
