I must be missing somthing out in the docs, I thought this should be easy...
If I have one coordinate and want to get a new coordinate x meters away, in some direction. How do I do this?
I am looking for something like
-(CLLocationCoordinate2D) translateCoordinate:(CLLocationCoordinate2D)coordinate
translateMeters:(int)meters
translateDegrees:(double)degrees;
Thanks!
Nicsoft's answer is fantastic and exactly what I needed. I've created a Swift 3-y version which is a little more concise and can be called directly on a CLLocationCoordinate2D instance:
public extension CLLocationCoordinate2D {
public func transform(using latitudinalMeters: CLLocationDistance, longitudinalMeters: CLLocationDistance) -> CLLocationCoordinate2D {
let region = MKCoordinateRegionMakeWithDistance(self, latitudinalMeters, longitudinalMeters)
return CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: latitude + region.span.latitudeDelta, longitude: longitude + region.span.longitudeDelta)
}
}
