  • 0

Driving directions are not supported in MapKit. so I think I can show driving direction in a webview. I am showing google maps in uiwebview, but it shows the whole site I just want to show only map part with some zoom so that it looks like original maps application of iphone. Also I don’t know if this breaks the apple’s Human Interface Guidelines(HIG) Rules, tell me if it is.

    Load a string like this as an NSString (maybe strip the newlines). You can change the latitude and longitude, zoom level etc with stringWithFormat

    <html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  function initialize() {
    var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(35.000, 139.000);
    var myOptions = {
      zoom: 15,
      center: latlng,
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  };
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
  }
</script>
</head>
<body onload="initialize()">
 <div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%">
</body>
</html>

    Then set your UIWebViews html to that. It will give you a page with just a map on it, allow you to scroll with your finger or zoom in, pinch zoom, and place a marker.

    Use this to load the HTML:

    - (void)loadHTMLString:(NSString *)string baseURL:(NSURL *)baseURL
