Use ios7 CoreLocation to create Google Maps link - google-maps

Question

New to ios developement and need a little help.
I am trying to use CoreLocation to load the users current location to a UITextField formatted as a Google Maps link ( http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:userLatitude,-userLongitude ) so I can share in sms.Can anyone suggest or point me to a example I can look at.
Please and Thanks.
Guess I'm not being clear enough.I want to use corelocation to pass the current lat and long to this string (http:/maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:currentLat,-currentLong) and load it to a UITextField.
ie: if you were in Toronto the uitextField would have this link
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:43.653433,-79.380341
For anyone thats interested I worked it out myself.
