Display device location on a floorplan image. Using Core Location, we will take the position in Latitude/Longitude and project it onto a flat floorplan. We will demonstrate how to do the conversion from the Geographic coordinates system (Latitude/Longitude) to the floorplan’s image coordinate system (x,y) Note: For this sample to...
