iOS 6 CLLocationManager last location

So, as of iOS 6, -locationManager:didUpdateToLocation:fromLocation: is deprecated.

Apple suggests, instead, using -locationManager:didUpdateLocations:, which provides anywhere from one to a series of recent location changes. However, in the incredibly likely chance it provides a locations array of length 1, there appears to be no way to access the fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation parameter of old.

Is there a way to get at this information without using deprecated methods?

As rdelmar said, if you need the previous location, I would just store the last location received from locationManager:didUpdateLocations: in an ivar or property, and if locationManager:didUpdateLocations: returns an array with only one value, grab the value you previously saved in your ivar/property and use that for your "old" location.

You just need to set a property to the value that locationManager:didUpdateLocations: returns, which you can use as the fromLocation, and then call the method again, and use what it returns as the toLocation.
