I had one App prepared and now when I am using it iOS 6, It automatically takes Apple maps !
Since I dont want to use Apple maps, So I want to know if any how,Is it possible to use Google maps on
iOS 6 !
You can still google maps, but not on mapkit. The google maps has a very useful API you can use to generate the maps. You won't be able to use MKMapKit thou, but you can use google's static maps API to show the map content.
Edit: here's a new open source project with google maps tile Link and here is a link for the alternative, official, bing maps toolkit Link
The website maps.google.com works fine.
You could now. Google present iOS SDK for iOS 6. http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-new-way-to-add-google-maps-to-your.html
I would like to use openstreet maps in my blackberry application. The idea is the application fetches the current location through GPS/cell tower. The user has an option to click on a button and load the map within the application (same display) below. I have researched a little and BlackBerry maps seem to be limited and Google Maps requires installing a seperate API. I am hoping to fetch and load the maps through http connection (something like a webservice). Can somebody please guide?
I use the nutiteq library its usefull and it implements the openstreet maps in my blackberry. Here are some links quick start nutiteq RIM BlackBerry Mapping API SDK
Is there any way to show my custom Google map ("My maps" feature in Google Maps) in my iPhone App (MapKit)?
I know I can do some things with the maps using MKAnnotation (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4651847/google-maps-shading-ios), but I would like to create and edit custom map online (through Google Maps) and then display it on Google Maps (my personal map, associated with specified Google Account) on iPhone/iPad.
Im not aware of anyway you can access your 'My Maps' from within MapKit. One option would be to use Route Me which is an open source map view for iOS. Its fairly well developed now and straight forward to implement. I'm not sure specifically how you would use your maps, but changing a few URLs here and there in the code should do the trick.
At that point, if you're rendering google maps, you should abandon MapKit and use the Google Maps iOS SDK (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/start)
I'm not sure from there's a native binding in there to access 'My Maps'.
I recommend you look at MapBox that provide full Map tiles customization as well as markers and overlays that can be used in iOS almost without any effort.
has anyone had any experience using BING maps on the iphone/ipad? We have an application which uses the googlemaps default map in the SDK, but we now have a requirement to use BING maps instead.
I am thinking we'd use the BING API via a UIWebView?
Has anyone else tried this? Thanks for any information!
I've used a bing API n a UIWebView, however the JS is rather costly, yet until I find and discover a BING SDK for the iPhone/iPad will probably have ot resort to that.
One other thing you can try (which I've just started down the path of), is trying to use HTML5 to cache a bunch of the is parts to it and see if that might speed the implementation up.
Hope that helps!
Apparently, the http://ibing.codeplex.com/ project on Codeplex was created with the intent of adding Bing Maps support for iOS and MacOS developers. It doesn't look to have been updated in over a year, and I don't know if it even works. Just thought I'd post it for anyone interested in checking it out.
this maybe another approach worth looking into

Recently announced and posted on the Bing Maps Blog on 5 May 2011, a new Bing Maps control/SDK is now available for iOS.
The Bing Maps iOS Control is an Objective-C control for embedding maps directly into native iOS apps. With a rich, gesture-based UI provided by Seadragon, the Bing Maps iOS Control provides support for adding pushpins and other overlays to the map, allows your device location to be displayed, and provides the ability to retrieve contextual information for a given map location.

Does anyone know how to create simple iPhone app using bing maps?
The Bing Mobile/Bing Maps team released a new Bing Maps iOS SDK for iPhone and iPad in early May 2011. You can download the SDK here and read about the details in this blog post.
Personally I would start by reading their API and figure out which services to use
You may also find that the Bing Maps V7 AJAX control used with PhoneGap gives you a lot more power. Using this approach you get the full power of Bing Maps and the ability to then re-use your application accorss not just iPhone and iPad, but other mobile devices as well.
