I have done routing in iOS apps before, but with iOS6 we are now

  • 0

I have done routing in iOS apps before, but with iOS6 we are now displaying Apple maps – which causes a problem because we are using Google routing data and if we use Google data, we are supposed to be displaying it on a Google map.

I have been searching but as far as I can tell, Apple does not provide any routing data. The closest thing to an answer so far seems to be when Apple says Apps that consume direction information do so by sending an appropriate request to the Maps app, which then handles the task of displaying that information to the user. – which, to me, means that the Maps app would be opened to display the route, and taking the user out of our app.

  • Where can we get on-the-fly routing data that is acceptable to use on iOS6 apps using Apple’s maps?

    You could use MapQuest’s Open Directions API. It is free and it does not seem to have any limit. They also have a licensed API with a free daily limit.

    I believe you are only required to put their logo somewhere on your app.
