Folks,
I've got an app that I'm adding some mapping functionality to. I need to open a map, set the area to the user's current location, and then show a certain type of places on the map. I've got most of it worked out except how to find a specific type of location.
So, for example, let's say that I have to find "Sporting Goods" shops. If I go to google maps in a web browser, I can type "Sporting Goods" into the search and it will place annotations on the map where they are located. I need to know how to get those from inside my app.
What I've done so far is create the map view, and I have a search field on there. So when I do the search, I need to know how to get the lat/long coordinates for the locations.
Does Apple have a service to query these? Bob
