The mobile phonespecifically the iPhone, which continues to define the state of the art for smartphoneshas become the primary interface device for geographically-tagged data.
This book provides an introduction to the hot topic of location on the iOS platform. If you are a programmer who has had some experience with iOS before, this book will help you push your knowledge further. If you are an experienced Mac programmer and are already familiar with Objective-C as a language, this book will dive deeper into Core Location and Map Kit, as well as some of the more important third-party tools, to give you a close look at the geolocation capabilities of the iOS platform.
This book assumes some previous experience with the Objective-C language. Additionally, some familiarity with the iOS platform would be helpful. If youre new to the iOS platform you may be interested in Learning iOS Programming , also by Alasdair Allan (OReilly).
This book will guide you through developing applications for the iOS platform. These applications make use of the onboard sensors and geolocation capabilities of the device in your hands to give you the background and skills to build your own applications using the hottest location-aware technology for any mobile platform.
This chapter summarizes the available sensors on the iPhone and iPad platforms and how they could be used in applications. It talks about the differences between the hardware platforms.
This chapter includes a discussion on the Core Location framework, covering standard location monitoring as well as the significant-change location service, which provides a low-power way to get the current location and be notified of changes to that location. It also covers region monitoring, which provides geofencing capabilities on the platform.
This chapter includes a discussion on the MapKit framework, which allows you to embed maps directly into your applications views, and provides support for annotating these maps.
This chapter shows how to use the onboard magnetometer, which is present in many iOS devices, as a digital compass using the Core Location framework.
This chapter discusses the geocoding capabilities of the platform that allow you to go from a latitude and longitude to a place name, and vice versa.
This chapter walks through code that allows you to display heat maps on top of a standard Map Kit view.
This chapter points to more information and some of the available third-party software development kits (SDKs) that make it easier to carry out geocoding, geofencing, and real-time location streaming as part of your application.

Everyone has one book in them. This isnt it; its my fifth, and hopefully not my last by any means. Nonetheless, they dont really get much easier to write. Id therefore like to thank my editors Brian Jepson and Shawn Wallace for prodding and poking until I actually finally set some of this material down in print. Id also like to thank my long-suffering wife, Gemma Hobson. Im not entirely sure why she lets me keep writing; its almost certainly nothing to do with the royalty checks. Finally, to my son Alex, who is still young enough that hes not entirely sure what daddy is doing. Sorry for being so grumpy while I went about this whole business one more time.
