I am totally new to Geocoding on the iPhone, or any other platforms, and I would like to know. Is a default iPhone MapKit a forward or reverse geocoding? And what is forward and reverse mean?
Is there a documentation in the iPhone that explains both? Some examples would be nice too 🙂
Thanks guys!
You can read about Geocoding in Apple’s Location Awareness Programming guide. http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/UsingGeocoders/UsingGeocoders.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009497-CH4-SW5
iOS supports reverse geocoding, but not forward geocoding. You can implement forward geocoding yourself. How do I do geocoding (NOT reverse geocoding) on iPhone?
