Map app in iphone 4.1 - iphone

I ran map application(built in) in iphone 4.1.when i give, for example "shops in new york", it shows in map with annotations of all shops.i hope it handles xml file through google URL.anybody knows that url to implement in my aplication?Needs URL for csv response or xml response with multiple latitude and longitiude values, u have given direct URL.

'Shops in New York' seems to be a predefined query that Google Maps accepts.
You can issue within a standard browser using
http://maps.google.com/maps?q="shops in new york"
I'm not sure if this is the problem you are trying to solve, however - feel free to provide some more detail and we'll see if we can figure it out.

Reverse Engineering an auth code query parameter passed to Play Framework in URL query Parameter

I recently got thrown into a company to do DD on a SaaS solution that needs to generate codes to send invites. Has anyone seen or used this method of passing an API key/auth code? It's using the Play Framework. I don't have access to the play source code, just a compiled binary so I can't even see how the GET request is validated.
Eg:
https://<site.com>/?auth=10002-1644542228446-75ac043770463c36039f29d75304171c
I checked the packages used and there is io.jsonwebtoken.jjwt-0.9.1.jar used but I'm only familiar with passing it as a header "Bearer ". and haven't seen this three segmented formatting. XXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Any help would be appreciated. I know it's not a lot to go off but I'm only looking to be pointed at the method used to get started.

Converting 'Current Location' Languages OR passing lon/lat

To whoever that can help,
My question comes from another topic # Open Maps app from Code - Where/How to find the "Current Location"?.
Did anyone successfully use the source code from martip # http://www.martip.net/blog/localized-current-location-string-for-iphone-apps with the ‘LocalizedCurrentLocation.zip’ file?
I've been trying but I'm not sure where I should place the example codes & how to 'call' the strings. I'm sorry for posting such newbie question but I have no where else to go~
I’ve been trying to work with it but I’m kinda lost. I’m not sure how to ‘call’ the localized string and use the ‘example usage’. I apologize for asking such a newbie question.
Please help me out here as I’m scratching my head over this matter. Anyone? Please~
Thanks in advance!^^
P/S: I'm actually trying to open iPhone maps from my app with directions from 'Current Location'. I know there are 2 ways of doing it; by CoreLocation (pass lon/lat) and replacing 'Current Location' with Strings BUT as I mention I'm a real beginner here and would appreciate it if anyone can advise & instruct me on which way is better & how to accomplish it. Btw, I'm using jquery and phonegap.
I have just completed the same task for current location. I came to know that, probably u also know that, we can't get current location in simulator. For just checking that is ur app working for location, u can add .gpx file and set ur current static location.
This is what I know...:)

Titanium - Mapview and annotations

I am an iPhone developer and a beginner in Titanium Studio. I have some ideas about basic concepts of using view, window, tabBar in Titanium. I need to proceed advance to deal with MapViews. Where can I find some guidelines or some samples to work with GeoLocations, open a mapView, get the current location, get latitude and longitudes, point annotation on the specified location. I have another basic question and it will be very silly as I started learning Titanium yesterday. How can I print a string as I use 'NSLog' and 'printf'? Answers are welcomed. Thanks in advance.
In order to find the details of the objects you want to use, you need to go to the details of
Titanium.Geolocation
Titanium.Map
If you want to display the string on the screen you can use
Titanium.UI.Label
There is a very good code example you can use Seven days with Titanium
To print in console you can use,
Ti.API.info("String to Print");
Ti.API.debug("String to Print");
Ti.API.error("String to Print");
Ti.API.warn("String to Print");
Check that Geolocation and Map API (Links already provided by Muhammad Zeeshan) and try to implement a sample code. If find any difficulties than you can post to community again.
Cheers

how does the "#" location tag work?

for better understanding check out this link first: http://sxsw.usehipster.com/questions/where-are-the-best-breakfast-tacos-in-austin
as you can see there, some answers have a reference to a location which is show on the map on the right. A user can do that by adding the “#“ symbol before the location name.
I'd like to know how that works. Did the guys from usehipster.com developed that by themselve or is that maybe a framework I can use too?
cheers
Looks custom-made - i.e. not a framework. Shouldn't be too hard - just scan the entry for #\w+, plug that into Google Local Search (possibly specify the city), and plug the output into a Google Map. See e.g. this for an example of Google Local Search API: http://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?exp=localsearch#the_hello_world_of_local_search

iPhone link to map directions using string "current location" not lat and lng for saddr

I know there are numerous questions about how to construct a sharedApplication link to the maps app specifying the start and end address with coordinates. I've got that working no problem.
Has anyone found a way to link with a source address generically specified as "current location".
I ask because the scenario I'm working on having Core Location or a UIMapView would only be necessary in order to determine the user location prior to handing off to the map app where the user locating would seem to just happen again.
I've tried throwing UTF8'd "Current Location" and "[Current Location]" into the saddr parameter which amusingly starts from Current Montana. I've also tried simply excluding the saddr param.
I know this is often tread territory but this particular situation wasn't covered by anything I found searching here or on mapki. Before I add the core location code I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a more limited way to tackle this.
Thanks
This post is quite old, but recently I had to face a similar issue and I developed a solution.
Using "Current Location" (properly escaped) as source address works perfectly.
The downside is that "Current Location" is valid for English language only. If your iPhone is set to use another language, you need to know the exact translation that Apple chose for that particular language.
I wrote a class that can provide the exact translation for "Current Location" in any supported language. You can read my blog post about this.
Hope this helps.
