ZFCardinalDirection 0.1

You want to add pod 'ZFCardinalDirection', '~> 0.1' similar to the following to your Podfile:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'ZFCardinalDirection', '~> 0.1'
end

Then run a pod install inside your terminal, or from CocoaPods.app.

Alternatively to give it a test run, run the command:

pod try ZFCardinalDirection

Boxing the Compass - Cardinal and ordinal compass directions derived from compass degrees implemented in Objective-C.

From Wikipedia.org

Boxing the compass is the action of naming all thirty-two clockwise points of the compass in order. Such names are formed by the initials of the cardinal directions and their intermediate ordinal directions, and are very handy to refer to a heading (or course or azimuth) in a general or colloquial fashion, without having to resort to computing or recalling degrees.

Usage

ZFCardinalDirection *heading = [[ZFCardinalDirection alloc] init];
[heading setCompassHeadingInDegress:[NSNumber numberWithDouble:209]];
NSLog(@"Block:'%@' Heading:'%@' Abb:'%@' Triditional Wind:'%@'", [heading headingPoint], [heading headingInEnglish], [heading headingAbbreviation],[heading headingTraditionalWindPoint]);
*/    

ZFCardinalDirection *heading = [[ZFCardinalDirection alloc] initWithCompassHeadingInDegrees:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:360]];

[heading headingPoint];
[heading headingInEnglish];
[heading headingAbbreviation];
[heading headingTraditionalWindPoint];

NSLog(@"Block:'%@' Heading:'%@' Abb:'%@' Triditional Wind:'%@'", [heading headingPoint], [heading headingInEnglish],[heading headingAbbreviation],[heading headingTraditionalWindPoint]);

//Testing of all degrees 0 to 360
ZFBoxingCompass *heading;
double degrees = 0;

while ( degrees < 360.01 )
{

    NSNumber *testDegree = [NSNumber numberWithDouble:degrees];

    heading = [[ZFBoxingCompass alloc] initWithCompassHeadingInDegrees:testDegree];

    NSLog(@"%@\u00B0 -> Block:'%@' Heading:'%@' Abb:'%@' Triditional Wind:'%@'", testDegree, [heading headingPoint], [heading headingInEnglish],[heading headingAbbreviation],[heading headingTraditionalWindPoint]);
    degrees = degrees + 0.1;
}
