Following are the simple steps for getting user location in Swift 3

1) First add this line in plist file with description

 NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription

2) Add CoreLocation.framework in your project(Under section Build Phases-> Link Binary With Library)

3) In AppDelegate class

   import CoreLocation

4) Create locationManager Object as follows

    var locationManager:CLLocationManager!

5) Write following code in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

    locationManager = CLLocationManager()
    locationManager.delegate = self
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest
    locationManager.distanceFilter = 200
    locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
    locationManager.startUpdatingLocation()

6) Confirm CLLocationManagerDelegate delegate like as follows

   class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate

7) Write CLLocationManagerDelegate delegate method for getting user location

func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didFailWithError error: Error) {

    print("location error is = \(error.localizedDescription)")

}


func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager,
                     didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) {

    let locValue:CLLocationCoordinate2D = (manager.location?.coordinate)!


    print("Current Locations = \(locValue.latitude) \(locValue.longitude)")
}
