Convert string to CLLocationCoordinate

Question

Is it possible to convert a string to a longitude/latitude value? I managed to convert the coordinate to a string, but I cannot find a way to revert the process

Answer 1

Another way to convert:

let latitude = (latitudeString as NSString).doubleValue
let longitude = (longitudeString as NSString).doubleValue

Answer 2

Swift 3

let lat = Double(String1)
let lon = Double(String2)

 let coordinates = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude:lat!
                        , longitude:lon!)

CLLocationCoordinate2D is a double value it can convert string into double See in above example
