This works for me:

NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=%@&output=csv", 
                      [addressField.text stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
NSString *locationString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];


luck

I don't think there is a built-in way to do reverse geocoding, but I'm new to iPhone, Objective C, Cocoa and XCode, so.

This is the best article I could find on the subject.



Goes in my "might be good" bookmark box :)

The second example url gives an XML file that you can get with initWithContentsOfURL

and then getObjectForKey:@"lat"

and getObjectForKey:@"lng"

or something along those lines.
