iPhone 3.0 MapKit — providing routing between points

Question

Is it possible to have the MapKit connect defined points using the Google Maps API type routing connections.

Answer 1

Unfortunately not — it's part of the SDK agreement that if you do routing, you have to use your own maps, like TomTom and the like have.

Answer 2

Unfortunately not — it's part of the SDK agreement that if you do routing, you have to use your own maps, like TomTom and the like have.

I don't see this in the 3.1.2 SDK agreement. Reading sections 3.3.7 through 3.3.11, the only restriction I see on routing is one that lines up with Google's terms of use - namely, that you can't claim to provide accurate real time routing information. Seems to me like the future is bright for kishikawakatsumi's MapKit-Route-Directions.

Answer 3

Nope. There are some clever solutions with putting a transparent view on top of the map, but officially the MapKit does not support routing.

Answer 4

I guess this is what marcc meant.
