ios - Forward geocoding from the iPhone

Question

Given that the mapkit doesn't provide forward geocoding functionality today, can anyone provide help on how I can i use a search bar to return a latitude and longitude coordinate from a user inputted address today. If someone can provide sample code that would be great.

Answer 1

iOS 5 now allows for forward Geocoding:
