How to get directions on iPhone or iPad

Question

Hi, I would like my app to display something like: you are 400 feet northwest.

I am currently using the getDistanceFrom method, but that only gives me legs between two locations.

Thank you for your help.

You probably should just use the equations of longitude latitude to calculate the bearing, and then set certain bearing ranges as SW, S, SE, etc.
