This my code......

 -(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateLocations:(NSArray *)locations
 {

    location_updated = [locations lastObject];
    NSLog(@"updated coordinate are %@",location_updated);
    latitude1 = location_updated.coordinate.latitude;
    longitude1 = location_updated.coordinate.longitude;

    self.lblLat.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f",latitude1];
    self.lblLon.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f",longitude1];

    NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=%f,%f&sensor=false",latitude1,longitude1];
    url = [NSURL URLWithString:str];
    NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    connection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self];
    if (connection)
    {
        webData1 = [[NSMutableData alloc]init];
    }
        GMSMarker *marker = [[GMSMarker alloc] init];
        marker.position = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(latitude1,longitude1);
        marker.title = formattedAddress;
        marker.icon = [UIImage imageNamed:@"m2.png"];
        marker.map = mapView_;
        marker.draggable = YES;

While allocating your LocationManager object you can set the distanceFilter property of the LocationManager. Distance filter property is a CLLocationDistance value which can be set to notify the location manager about the distance moved in meters. You can set the distance filter as follows:

LocationManager *locationManger = [[CLLocationManager alloc] init];
locationManager.delegate = self;
locationManager.distanceFilter = 100.0; // Will notify the LocationManager every 100 meters
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest;
