I have the following so far, but can't figure out a tidy way to get the direction letters in without a bunch of messy if statements. Any ideas? Ideally I'd like to extend the CLLocation class with a category to do this.
-(NSString *)nicePosition{
double latitude = [self.latitude doubleValue];
double longitude = [self.longitude doubleValue];
int latSeconds = (int)round(latitude * 3600);
int latDegrees = latSeconds / 3600;
latSeconds = abs(latSeconds % 3600);
int latMinutes = latSeconds / 60;
latSeconds %= 60;
int longSeconds = (int)round(longitude * 3600);
int longDegrees = longSeconds / 3600;
longSeconds = abs(longSeconds % 3600);
int longMinutes = longSeconds / 60;
longSeconds %= 60;
//TODO: Use N,E,S,W notation in lat/long
return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i° %i' %i\", %i° %i' %i\"", latDegrees, latMinutes, latSeconds, longDegrees, longMinutes, longSeconds];
}
For the record I did the following.
-(NSString *)nicePosition{
double latitude = [self.latitude doubleValue];
double longitude = [self.longitude doubleValue];
int latSeconds = (int)round(abs(latitude * 3600));
int latDegrees = latSeconds / 3600;
latSeconds = latSeconds % 3600;
int latMinutes = latSeconds / 60;
latSeconds %= 60;
int longSeconds = (int)round(abs(longitude * 3600));
int longDegrees = longSeconds / 3600;
longSeconds = longSeconds % 3600;
int longMinutes = longSeconds / 60;
longSeconds %= 60;
char latDirection = (latitude >= 0) ? 'N' : 'S';
char longDirection = (longitude >= 0) ? 'E' : 'W';
return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i° %i' %i\" %c, %i° %i' %i\" %c", latDegrees, latMinutes, latSeconds, latDirection, longDegrees, longMinutes, longSeconds, longDirection];
}
Regarding to Alex's answer, here is a solution in Swift 3 with an output tuple. It returns the coordinates in a tuple.
Furthermore, it really extends the class CLLocationDegrees and doesn't require an extra parameter.
Standard way:
Here's a solution in C#:
This is an example run:
Which prints:
Hope this helps, and that it does the right thing. Good luck!
Here's some Objective-C based on Daniel's solution above:
If you want to do it in swift you can make something like that:
This is mistake! Proper is
