Abstract
Apple’s MapKit framework isn’t the only solution for mapping applications on iOS. Other providers offer mapping and routing technologies, including Google, Mapbox, Bing Maps by Microsoft, and ESRI’s ArcGIS. In this chapter, as well as the following chapters, we are going to work with the Google Maps SDK for iOS. For applications on multiple platforms, you can use Google Maps on the Web, Android, and iOS. This can provide consistency across your application. You may also want to use imagery from Google in your map or use Google’s driving directions or place information.
