Question

I am trying to create simple GPS application just to display simple data in simulator. I have no errors just cant obtain data. “didFailWithError” method is the only I can get to work :), this is the code:

- (void)viewDidLoad 
{  
 [super viewDidLoad];

 lm = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
 if([CLLocationManager locationServicesEnabled])
 {
  lm.delegate = self;
  lm.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
  //lm.distanceFilter = 1000.0f;
  [lm startUpdatingLocation];
 }

}


- (void) locationManager: (CLLocationManager *) manager
didUpdateToLocation: (CLLocation *) newLocation
fromLocation: (CLLocation *) oldLocation{
 NSString *lat = [[ NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%g", newLocation.coordinate.latitude];
 txtLatitude.text = lat;

 NSString *lng = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%g", newLocation.coordinate.longitude];
 txtLongitude.text = lng;

 NSString *acc = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%g", newLocation.horizontalAccuracy];
 txtAccuracy.text = acc;

 [acc release];
 [lat release];
 [lng release];
}
- (void) locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager 
didFailWithError: (NSError *) error
{
 NSString *msg = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"Error obtaining location"];
 UIAlertView *alert = [[ UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error" 
              message:msg 
             delegate:nil 
             cancelButtonTitle:@"Done" 
             otherButtonTitles:nil];
 [alert show];
 [msg release];
 [alert release];
}

It doesnt move ever in the simulator.

“Core Location Functionality

The relocation reported by the CoreLocation framework in the simulator is fixed at the following coordinates (accuracy 100 meters), which correspond to 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014.

Latitude: 37.3317 North
Longitude: 122.0307 West”

You could try adding a simple random or timed event which pings the didUpdate… method explicitly with fake data of your preference.
