Question

In my iPhone application I find the latitude and longitude using the location API available. I want to reverse geocode that and get the country code. But without using 3rd party or external API call I would like to get it. When researching I found that MKReverseGeocoderDelegate will be useful for this. But I dont have any requirement to use google maps. I want to know whether my approach is ok to get the current country where user resides.

Thank you

From the MKReverseGeocoder class reference:

The Google terms of service require
that the reverse geocoding service be
used in conjunction with a Google map;
take this into account when designing
your application’s user interface.

So, that means you can’t use it without using Google Maps (MKMapView).

I recommend looking at an existing SO question that covers what you want to do – How to get user's country information
