Can we decide where reverse geocoding lives and leave it be?

1. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkit/mkreversegeocoder/initwithcoordinate: (use CLGeocoder)
2. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreLocation/CLGeocoder (use MapKit)

Feels like googling for recursion.

I want to avoid requesting too much data from HealthKit. Allowing me to not depend on HK much, for example I’ll compute the distance, avg speed etc… myself from CoreLocation. Maybe I’m wrong. #BuildInPublic

How to build an AsyncStream that tracks your location

We set the AsyncStream up in our LocationManager, that uses CoreLocation delegate callbacks to get the latest rotation angle.

Creating an async stream is as simple as declaring it.

If you're stuck just ask.

I've worked with a package to translate from a EPSG25831 to EPSG4326 coordinate system.

For reference EPSG4326 is the one CoreLocation is using.

It compares the traditional CLLocationManager with newer wrappers like CLMonitor and CLLocationUpdate, and includes sample code and testing advice for smooth implementation.
