distanceFromLocation - Calculate distance between two points

Viewed 84799

Just a quick question on Core Location, I'm trying to calculate the distance between two points, code is below:

    -(void)locationChange:(CLLocation *)newLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation
    {   

    // Configure the new event with information from the location.
        CLLocationCoordinate2D newCoordinate = [newLocation coordinate];
        CLLocationCoordinate2D oldCoordinate = [oldLocation coordinate];

        CLLocationDistance kilometers = [newCoordinate distanceFromLocation:oldCoordinate] / 1000; // Error ocurring here.
        CLLocationDistance meters = [newCoordinate distanceFromLocation:oldCoordinate]; // Error ocurring here.
}

I'm getting the following error on the last two lines:

error: cannot convert to a pointer type

I've been searching Google, but I cannot find anything.

#import <CoreLocation/CoreLocation.h>

CLLocation *locA = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:"Value" longitude:"Value"];

CLLocation *locB = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:"Value" longitude:"Value"];

CLLocationDistance distance = [locA distanceFromLocation:locB];
NSLog(@"distance:-%f",distance);//distance in Miter
