iOS - LocationManager gives newLocation timestamp wrong

Question

I just want to say that I have read everything about filtering old locations etc, but this is not the issue. What I just noticed when testing my app on a real iPhone device, was that when I change the "date & time" in "Settings" in the device, the newLocation I get from locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation gives me the same "date & time" as I have in my iPhone device.

I need to get the real timestamp according to network time, and not the phone's, because then I can manipulate the data. How on earth am I supposed to achieve this, did I miss something?

Btw, my locationmanager look like this:

self.locationManager = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
self.locationManager.delegate = self;
self.locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation;

Answer 1

You won't get access to the raw GPS data (with a real timestamp). Why not use an actual ntp server instead?
