Zword,

Can you post the code you are having trouble with and we can try to assist in debugging it?

In the meantime, here is code which works well:


Header

@interface MyTestGPSViewController : UIViewController <CLLocationManagerDelegate> {
	
	NSString *myCurrentLatitude;
	NSString *myCurrentLongitude;

	CLLocationManager *locationManager;
	CLLocation *currentLocation;


}

@property(nonatomic,retain) NSString *myCurrentLatitude;
@property(nonatomic,retain) NSString *myCurrentLongitude;

@property (nonatomic, retain) CLLocationManager *locationManager;
@property (nonatomic, retain) CLLocation *currentLocation;

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
	didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
		   fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation;


@end

Implementation
(contains only excerpt of related code for GPS)

- (id) init {
	self = [super init];
	if (self != nil) {
	self.locationManager = [[[CLLocationManager alloc] init] autorelease];
		
	locationManager.delegate = self;
	
	locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
		
	[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

	}
	


// Called when the location is updated
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
	didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
		   fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
{	
	NSDate* newLocationeventDate = newLocation.timestamp;
	NSTimeInterval howRecentNewLocation = [newLocationeventDate timeIntervalSinceNow];

//	NSDate* oldLocationeventDate = newLocation.timestamp;
	//NSTimeInterval howRecentOldLocation = [oldLocationeventDate timeIntervalSinceNow];

	// Needed to filter cached and too old locations
	if ((!currentLocation || currentLocation.horizontalAccuracy > newLocation.horizontalAccuracy) &&
		(howRecentNewLocation < -0.0 && howRecentNewLocation > -10.0)) {
		if (currentLocation)
			[currentLocation release];
		
		currentLocation = [newLocation retain];
	}
	
}


	
	return self;
}
