Reverse geocode without using MKReverseGeocoder

Question

Hi guys, I'm trying to detect current user address using MKReverseGeocoder passing coordinates obtained via CLLocation class. Reading MKReverseGeocoder Class Reference I noticed that

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.

so I'm wondering if (and eventually how) can I reverse geocode user current location on iPhone OS SDK 3.1.3. I thought using Google Maps API but the EULA has the same obligation. Yahoo Maps API is even worse and Microsoft one aren't free.

Answer 1

Well if the EULA of Google has the obligation and you are not following it ( similar topic here), then of course you can't do it.

Still I would advice you to find some alternatives, what about this, it's free and doesn't look bad at all.

Answer 2

http://www.geonames.org/ is another free alternative
