How can I plot addresses in Swift, converting address to longitude and latitude coordinates?

Question

In Objective-C this code works fine to plot an address and it finds the longitude and latitude coordinates: ``` NSString *address = @"1 Infinite Loop, CA, USA"; CLGeocoder *geocoder = [[CLGeocoder alloc] init]; [geocoder geocodeAddressString:address completionHandler:^(NSArray* placemarks, NSError* error){ // Check for returned placemarks if (placemarks && placemarks.count > 0) { CLPlacemark *topResult = [placemarks objectAtIndex:0]; // Create a MLPlacemark and add it to the map view MKPlacemark *placemark = [[MKPlacemark alloc] initWithPlacemark:topResult]; [self.mapView addAnnotation:placemark]; [placemark release]; } [geocoder release]; }]; ``` I have been searching for days on how to do this with Swift?! Could anyone point me in the right direction? Could you explain if a user needs an internet connection for this to work. Sorry if these questions sounds a bit basic, but I am quite new to this and learning every day. I understand that I have to use this code, but cannot find a way…

Accepted Answer

Try something like

```
var address = "1 Infinite Loop, CA, USA"
var geocoder = CLGeocoder()
geocoder.geocodeAddressString(address, {(placemarks: [AnyObject]!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
    if let placemark = placemarks?[0] as? CLPlacemark {
        self.mapView.addAnnotation(MKPlacemark(placemark: placemark))
    }
})
```
