Bad GPS coordinates returned on IPhone device

Original issue 108 created by codenameone on 2012-03-21T00:49:40.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Call Display.getInstance().getLocationManager().getCurrentLocation();

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
On the iPhone, I'm getting a location that would put me somewhere in the South Atlantic Ocean near Cameroon, but I'm actually in Canada. I verified that the iPhone Maps is able to show my current position. Also verified that I get the correct coordinates from this call on a Symbian device.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1 Build 20120315 on Ubuntu 11.10, IPhone 3G on IOS 4.2.1

I'll take a look, its probably a difference between the iOS and Android coordinate system. Thanks!

I'm assuming you are checking whether the connection is available but aren't listening to location events though, right?
I'm guessing the available value is marked as available despite the data not being there yet. I'll try to write a test case for the location functionality so I can verify it more easily.

I made some fixes here, I'm not sure if they work since we don't have a proper demo for location (its in my huge todo list).
I'm deploying to the servers right now so it should just work in future builds.

I missed your previous note, most of your assumption was correct, except I didn't test the status first (oops). I have my iphone loaned out for moment but will add that check and resubmit to try it again later this eve.

The update worked, got the right coordinates this time, thanks!
