Hi, I am developing an iOS app using the Google Maps API. I am aware that this forum is about the JavaScript API, but I was not able to find its iOS/MKMapKit counterpart. The guys at Apple won't answer my question (they told me to ask Google), so I am posting my question here. I will be glad about any answer or pointer to a resource that fits my need better.
I want to use a Google Map (using MKMapKit) and Google Reverse Geocoding in my app. But: I don't want to show the results from the Reverse Geocoding service on the map, but rather use it to identify the country the user is currently in. Is this use legal? Apples documentation 1) says "The Google terms of service require that the reverse geocoding service be used in conjunction with a Google map; take this into account when designing your application's user interface." --> What does IN CONJUNCTION mean? Google documentation 2) says: "geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited" --> But it doesn't say anything about REVERSE Geocoding. And: Does this apply to the MKMapKit? So, it seems like I am moving to prohibited territory, but it is not quite clear to me. I would appreciate any clarification about this.
