What to do for Geocoding now that Apple replaced Google Maps

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

Google's API calls for a requirement to use the Google Map with it. Titanium's Geocoder in the past has worked very poorly. Does anyway have any suggestions?

No, Apple rejected it because you're using a Google MAP without the Google logo. If you're using the new iOS6 maps, its not an issue. If its the Google one, then as long as you're not covering it up you're fine.

Google isnt going to know if you're using theirs or not.

  • So if I understand you correctly, you think I could continue to use the Google Geocoder service (which works really well) and display with Apple maps and Apple won't try to play monitor for Google on this?

It still works just fine. For iOS 6 devices, to use the native Maps app, use this

  • Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific. I use Google Maps v3 API for doing my geocoding. From Google's website - Note: the Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited. For complete details on allowed usage, consult the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions.

    I had an issue before when I was developing for IOS where Apple rejected the app when I didn't put a Google logo on the map. Since they still show this restriction, one could assume that Apple won't approve apps that use the Google Geocoder when displaying an Apple Map.
