Syntax

[Foundation.Register("CLGeocoder", true)]
[ObjCRuntime.Availability(Introduced=ObjCRuntime.Platform.iOS_5_0)]
public class CLGeocoder : Foundation.NSObject

Remarks

Converting a latitude and longitude into a human-readable address is generally straightforward:

C# Example

async void GeocodeToConsoleAsync (string address) {
    var geoCoder = new CLGeocoder();
    var placemarks = await geoCoder.GeocodeAddressAsync(address);
    foreach (var placemark in placemarks) {
	      Console.WriteLine(placemark);
    }

As is reverse-geocoding:

C# Example

async void ReverseGeocodeToConsoleAsync (CLLocation location) {
    var geoCoder = new CLGeocoder();
    var placemarks = await geoCoder.ReverseGeocodeLocationAsync(location);
    foreach (var placemark in placemarks) {
	      Console.WriteLine(placemark);
    }          
}
