Question

I’m using a CLLocationManager in an attempt to find the address that the user is currently at. How can I convert the coordinates returned by the class to an actual address/business without a visual map view? Or is there a different class to return this data? Thanks.

Have a look at MKReverseGeocoder class:

The MKReverseGeocoder class provides services for converting a map
coordinate (specified as a latitude/longitude pair) into information
about that coordinate, such as the country, city, or street. A reverse
geocoder object is a single-shot object that works with a
network-based map service to look up placemark information for its
specified coordinate value.

However, you mention you do not want to provide a map. This violates the terms of service:

The MapKit framework uses Google services to provide map data. (…)
The Google terms of service require that the reverse geocoding service
be used in conjunction with a Google map; take this into account when
designing your application’s user interface.

If you definetely do not want to prove a map, you may have to look into a reverse geocoding service other than Google’s.
