I'm using CLRegion method "containsCoordinate" but I'm not getting the write results?

Question

Since the location Manager can monitor a maximum of 10 locations ..

I need to know which Region the user is in, in order to monitor the associated locations ..

I tried this but the loop does not break ..

The loop should break because the Region initiated from index 2 at the array contains the specified coordinates "currentCoordinate" ..

I wonder if I need to startMonitorForRegion using a LocationManager instance prior to using this method "containsCoordinate" ..

Can you tell me what am I doing wrong ??

-(void) chooseRegion {

int Count = mosqueRegionsArray.count;
NSLog(@"In Choose Region: Regions Count %d",Count);

currentCoordinates.longitude = lastKnownLocation.coordinate.longitude;
currentCoordinates.latitude = lastKnownLocation.coordinate.latitude; 
int index = 0; 
CLRegion *testRegion;
for(index=0; index<Count; index++)
{
    CLLocationCoordinate2D rCoordinate;
    rCoordinate.latitude =[(Region *)[mosqueRegionsArray objectAtIndex:index] latitude];
    rCoordinate.longitude =[(Region *)[mosqueRegionsArray objectAtIndex:index] longitude];
    NSLog(@"Region Coordinate %f, %f", rCoordinate.latitude, rCoordinate.longitude);

    CLLocationDistance rRadius  = [(Region *)[mosqueRegionsArray objectAtIndex:index] radius];

    NSLog(@"%f", rRadius); 

    NSString *rCity = [(Region *)[mosqueRegionsArray objectAtIndex:index] name];

    testRegion = [[CLRegion alloc] initCircularRegionWithCenter:rCoordinate radius:rRadius identifier:rCity];

    NSLog(@"region Index %d", index);

    NSLog(@"New Coordinate %f, %f", currentCoordinates.latitude, currentCoordinates.longitude);
    if ([testRegion containsCoordinate:currentCoordinates]) 
        goto outer;
    else 
        NSLog(@"Not in Region");

    //[locationManager startMonitoringForRegion:region desiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyBest];


}
outer:
        [testRegion release];


return; 
}

==================================================================

Please if you can help me, Please do ..

Update

I test against currentLocation .. Because in - (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manage didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation

I have stored the recent coordinates in currentCoordinates ..

May be I need to test on the Device ..

This is the Result Form NSLog ..

Answer 1

I have solved the problem for whom it concerns I should use CLLocationDegrees not CLLocationDistance and in the following way

-(void) chooseRegion {

int Count = mosqueRegionsArray.count;
NSLog(@"In Choose Region: Regions Count %d",Count);


int index = 0; 

for(index=0; index<Count; index++)
{
    CLLocationCoordinate2D rCoordinate;
    rCoordinate.latitude =[(Region *)[mosqueRegionsArray objectAtIndex:index] latitude];
    rCoordinate.longitude =[(Region *)[mosqueRegionsArray objectAtIndex:index] longitude];
    NSLog(@"Region Coordinate %f, %f", rCoordinate.latitude, rCoordinate.longitude);

    //CLLocationDistance rRadius  = [(Region *)[mosqueRegionsArray objectAtIndex:index] radius];
    CLLocationDegrees rRadius = [(Region *)[mosqueRegionsArray objectAtIndex:index] radius];
    if (rRadius > self.locationManager.maximumRegionMonitoringDistance)
        rRadius = self.locationManager.maximumRegionMonitoringDistance;
    NSLog(@"%f", rRadius); 

    NSString *rCity = [(Region *)[mosqueRegionsArray objectAtIndex:index] name];

    CLRegion *testRegion = [[CLRegion alloc] initCircularRegionWithCenter:rCoordinate radius:rRadius identifier:rCity];

    NSLog(@"region Index %d", index);

    [locationManager startMonitoringForRegion:testRegion desiredAccuracy:kCLLocationAccuracyHundredMeters];

    NSLog(@"New Coordinate %f, %f", currentLocation.latitude, currentLocation.longitude);

    if ([testRegion containsCoordinate:currentLocation]) 
        break;
    else 
        NSLog(@"Not in Region");

    [locationManager stopMonitoringForRegion:testRegion];
    [testRegion release];


}// end of for loop 

[self startRegionMonitoring:index]; 
return; 

}

Answer 2

You say the loop should break on index 2, but the coordinates with which you're doing the hit test aren't even determined in the loop.

Maybe you meant to be testing against rCoordinate and not currentCoordinates.

[testRegion containsCoordinate:rCoordinate];
