Can this be accomplished??

objective C please.

Look at CLLocationManager. You can simply create an instance, setting your controller as delegate, start the instance to acquire your location, and in your CLLocationManagerDelegate delegate methods to handle the results, you can access the coordinates. No map required.

- (void)startUpdates {
    coreManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
    coreManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters;
    coreManager.delegate = self;
    [coreManager startUpdatingLocation];
}

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation {
    // newLocation is location from gps...
    // you'll need to stop coreManager updating when you have a good fix
}

See the Apple docs for details.

CLLocationManager is the interface you must use in order to retrieve current Lat/Long

Below is the code:

locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; 
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest; 
locationManager.distanceFilter = DISTANCE_FILTER_VALUE;
locationManager.delegate = self; 
[locationManager startUpdatingLocation];

Just use CLLocationManager for it.
