My gps position is always (null)

[azimo]

I've used this code to get my position and it is normally logged so I can see it works.

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
	
	if (startingPoint == nil)
		self.startingPoint = newLocation;
	
	NSString *latitudeString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%g°", newLocation.coordinate.latitude];
	NSLog(@"%@", latitudeString);
	self.myLatitude = latitudeString;
	[latitudeString release];
	
	NSString *longitudeString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%g°", newLocation.coordinate.longitude];
	NSLog(@"%@", longitudeString);
	self.myLongitude = longitudeString;
	[longitudeString release];
	
}

But I need to use my position with a webservice, so I logged the two variables on viewLoad, but they are always (null).
Can someone suggest me how can I access the two coordinates outside the didUpdateToLocation method?
Thanks in advance.

I post some more code to see if someone can help me:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
	[[self locationManager] startUpdatingLocation];
	
	if (!(myLatitude)) {
		NSLog(@"no location found");
	}
	
	[self myCurrentLocation];
}

/**
 Return a location manager -- create one if necessary.
 */
- (CLLocationManager *)locationManager {
	
    if (locationManager != nil) {
		return locationManager;
	}
	
	locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
	locationManager.delegate = self;
	
	return locationManager;
}

/**
 Conditionally enable the Add button:
 If the location manager is generating updates, then enable the button;
 If the location manager is failing, then disable the button.
 */
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
    didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation
           fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
	
	NSString *latitudeString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%g°", newLocation.coordinate.latitude];
	NSLog(@"%@", latitudeString);
	self.myLatitude = latitudeString;
	[latitudeString release];
	
	NSString *longitudeString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%g°", newLocation.coordinate.longitude];
	NSLog(@"%@", longitudeString);
	self.myLongitude = longitudeString;
	[longitudeString release];
	
}

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager
       didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {

}

- (void)myCurrentLocation {
	
	NSLog(@"%@", myLatitude);
	
}

In my console output I have

no location found
(null)
37.3317°
-122.031°

The output generated from the startUpdatingLocation is displayed after the one from myCorrentLocation (that in this way is null): how do I prevent this? How could I make my app to wait for the coordinates? Should I set a timer or is there a better way?

The problem is that you are not actually receiving new coordinates. The coordinates that are being produced are the coordinates of Apple's HQ and are inputed by default. There is no problem with timing, it is not receiving new coordinates.

If you want to check it out, go to Google Maps and type in loc: 37.3317°
-122.031° and see what you find.
