I have 2 coordinates and would like to do something seemingly straightforward. I want to figure out, given:

1) Coordinate A
2) Course provided by Core Location
3) Coordinate B

the following:

1) Distance between A and B (can currently be done using distanceFromLocation) so ok on that one.
2) The course that should be taken to get from A to B (different from course currently traveling)

Is there a simple way to accomplish this, any third party or built in API?

Apple doesn’t seem to provide this but I could be wrong.

Thanks,
~Arash

EDIT:

Thanks for the fast responses, I believe there may have been some confusion, I am looking to get the course (bearing from point a to point b in degrees so that 0 degrees = north, 90 degrees = east, similar to the course value return by CLLocation. Not trying to compute actual turn by turn directions.
