hi, i want to be able to display (as a string) the users current location. i know how to get the altitude and the longitude of the user but i don't know how to continue from here to use the Google Maps API to fetch the user's current location using those coordinates. i searched the google developer website and i found nothing. so how can i get the user's current location as a string to display? Note: i don't want to use Apple's Maps because my country isn't supported as Google Map do. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

You are going to want to use Google Maps Reverse Geocoder. That way you can provide a lat/lon pair and it will return you the closest address/s in a results array.
