I have done something very similar to this recently. With the coordinates you can use MKReverseGeocoder to get the address.

when you find the coordinates,

    self.reverseGeocoder =[[[MKReverseGeocoder alloc] initWithCoordinate:newLocation.coordinate]autorelease];
    reverseGeocoder.delegate=self;
    [reverseGeocoder start];

//called when reverseGeocoder was successfully able to retreive address

- (void)reverseGeocoder:(MKReverseGeocoder *)geocoder didFindPlacemark:(MKPlacemark *)placemark{
    NSString *street=[placemark.addressDictionary objectForKey:@"Street"];
    //get the different address components
}

//called when reverseGeocoder was unable to retreive address

- (void)reverseGeocoder:(MKReverseGeocoder *)geocoder didFailWithError:(NSError *)error{

}

Hope this helps
