Sending 'CLLocationManager *' to parameter of incompatible type 'CLLocationCoordinate2D';

Question

Im working through a weather app tutorial. I am having trouble getting the reverse geocode of the location. It keeps getting the error that is in the title. I get what it is telling me just stuck on how to fix it.

Heres the code snippet:

if (1)
{
    locationManager.delegate = self;
    locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
    [locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

    MKReverseGeocoder *geocoder = [[MKReverseGeocoder alloc] initWithCoordinate:locationManager];
    geocoder.delegate = self;
    [geocoder start];
}
else
{
    [self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(showWeatherFor:) withObject:@"95014"];
}

Like I said, Im still learning so an explanation would be nice as to why you did what you did.

you have to call location getter in the delegate method of CLLocation where you get the gps coordinates. The parameter of MKReverseGeocoder is a CLLocation and not CLLocationManager

# pragma mark LocationGetter Delegate Methods

- (void)newPhysicalLocation:(CLLocation *)location {

    //Geocoder is started only if a valid location is found.
    self.reverseGeocoder = [[[MKReverseGeocoder alloc] initWithCoordinate:location] autorelease];
    reverseGeocoder.delegate = self;
    [reverseGeocoder start];

}

How do I call the location getter? – heinst Jul 04 '12 at 21:36
I thought I was starting to get the location with "startUpdatingLocation" – heinst Jul 04 '12 at 21:38
