Hi All,
I am new to iPhone programming ,
I want to know how to convert the latitude and longitude value to particular location also how to display that particular location in google earth .
My idea was to first find the zip code of that location and then with the help of the code trace the location on in built google maps on iPhone.
Thnx in advance.

Hello. What do you mean by "particular location"? Because lat/long values already define a particular location. Also, I do not believe you can interface with the Google Earth app using the SDK.

what you are trying to do cannot be done only in the iphone sdk. imagine the huge amount of data you would have to have in stored in your iphone, such that conversion of coordinates to a location name is made possible. you should think along the lines of obtaining the coordinates from the iphone, then ask google or mapquest or whoever to do the conversion for you. i would suggest looking up "reverse geocoding" and exercise your javascript skills a little ;)
