Location Specification with an iOS MapView

Using an iOS device, I am interested in tapping a mapview and getting back the lat / long coordinates of that spot. Is this possible?

You can get the CLLocationCoordinate2D using convertPoint:toCoordinateFromView method of the MKMapView.

CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = [self.mapView convertPoint:[gesture locationInView:self.mapView] toCoordinateFromView:self.mapView];

I put this in a tap gesture handler to work. But if you are using some other mechanism to get the touch point, you can use the touch point as the argument passed in convertPoint:.
