Unexpected number printed for CLLocation.coordinate.latitude

Question

I have an NSLog statement in my -didUpdateToLocation method which prints the latitude of my location as expected:

NSLog(@"%g", newLocation.coordinate.latitude);

prints 37.3317

In the same method, i assign newLocation to a CLLocation instance variable for use elsewhere.

self.selectedLocation = newLocation;

But when i NSLog this using %g, i get this value -1.96638e-202

NSLog(@"%g", self.selectedLocation.coordinate.latitude);

What i have done wrong?

Thanks

Answer 1

in the .h file, what do you have for the property?

That is, you have a line like:

@property (copy)CLLocation* newLocation;

what is in the parenthesis?

Answer 2

Are you testing this in the simulator? If you are it will always return the latitude as "37.33" and longitude as "-122.0" or near around which is the location of Cupertino, California, USA(The apple headquarters).

So if this is not the case show us some your code snippet.

Hope I helped you.

Thanks,
