High-level GPS location descriptors ios swift
I was wondering if there's any API that provides the meaning of the GPS coordinates. For example, there'd be some function that'd return the user's current location as an English interpretation (e.g. home, work).
I currently implement this myself by asking users to label their current GPS locations using a drop down home. I then label future GPS long/lat based on distance. For example, if a user marked (72,30.1) as their home and the user is now at (72, 30.2), I'd infer that they still are at home.
Anyone came across anything like this?
For example,
CLLocationManager.currentLocationContext() //returns "home", "work",

I think the visits location service is close, but it's not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find an API that summarizes raw GPS into something meaningful (i.e. the current long/lat indicates that the user is at their home or at their work).

Well, if you're using visits (CLVisit), you learn what places are important to the user and can save them. Now you can look to see if where the user is now is one effectively of those.
