Try this

- (CLLocationCoordinate2D) geoCodeUsingAddress:(NSString *)address
{
   double latitude = 0, longitude = 0;
   NSString *esc_addr =  [address stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
   NSString *req = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?sensor=false&address=%@", esc_addr];
   NSString *result = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:req] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:NULL];
   if (result) {
        NSScanner *scanner = [NSScanner scannerWithString:result];
        if ([scanner scanUpToString:@"\"lat\":" intoString:nil] && [scanner scanString:@"\"lat\":" intoString:nil]) {
          [scanner scanDouble:&latitude];
          if ([scanner scanUpToString:@"\"lng\":" intoString:nil] && [scanner scanString:@"\"lng\":" intoString:nil]) {
              [scanner scanDouble:&longitude];
          }
        }
    }
   CLLocationCoordinate2D center;
   center.latitude = latitude;
   center.longitude = longitude;
   return center;
}
