New method to find distance between 2 points

Question

I was using following code to find distance between 2 points:

CLLocation *location1 = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:28.3636 longitude:-77.1212];

CLLocation *location2 = [[CLLocation alloc] initWithLatitude:42.353297 longitude:-71.578858];

float target = [location1 getDistanceFrom:location2];

But now getDistanceFrom is deprecated by Apple.

What should I try to perform same task?

Try consulting the official documentation a bit more thorough — basvk, Jul 11 '12 at 06:42

How about -distanceFromLocation: instead? It's even explicitly mentioned in the documentation on -getDistanceFrom: as the method to use as a replacement.

You want to use 'distanceFromLocation:'. See the documentation for more: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/CoreLocation/Reference/CLLocation_Class/CLLocation/CLLocation.html
