Get user location (coordinate) WITHOUT showing map

[chibisuke13]

I am trying to get the location of the user without having to show a map and place an annotation of the users current location on it.

My many hours of searching has found me little to nothing on the subject.

I know it has something to do with manually starting up the CLLocationManager, but when it comes to actually making this happen properly I am lost.

I guess it is my turn to answer my own question.

I hope this resource will help some one in the future, but this tutorial helped considerably.

You could also use the LocateMe sample app included with the iPhone SDK. Just do a search on "LocateMe" in the XCode help system.
