A Google Maps View for The iPhone
0
If you’ve been following the development of location based applications under
Android and the iPhone you must have seen a lot of comparison charts showing the
strengths and weaknesses of each SDK and mentioning the differences. Well, now
you can cross one difference off that list!
As this
article mentions, the iPhone SDK lacks a programmable map component similar
to the MapView
on Android, but you don’t need to worry about that anymore; here’s a similar
one for the iPhone! This one simply loads http://maps.google.com in a UIWebView which is
displayed under a custom transparent UIView that receives touch events and
translates them to Javascript Maps API calls. The source is available under the
BSD license. If you want to merge in any cool updates just drop me a line.
Here’s a video demo of the thing in action:
