I currently have a PFGeoPoint on a Parse Server which I can successfully retrieve by doing the following (in Swift):

let geo = listingObject?.objectForKey("geo")
// <PFGeoPoint: 0x7ff37d184840, latitude: 51.510005, longitude: -0.128493>

What I am now wanting to do is get the latitude and longitude out of this into their own variables.

When I create a map annotation for example the following works:

let anno = mapAnnotation(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: (geo?.latitude)!, longitude: (geo?.longitude)!))

However this produces an error:

let latitude = geo?.latitude
// Ambiguous use of 'latitude'

Can anyone point me in right direction?

objectForKey returns AnyObject, the compiler doesn't know that the type is PFGeoPoint. The solution is to cast the value to the proper type.

And when using optional bindings you can get rid of all ?! marks

if let geo = listingObject?.objectForKey("geo") as? PFGeoPoint {
    let anno = mapAnnotation(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: geo.latitude, longitude: geo.longitude)
}
