Is it possible to integrate Google Maps with the directions and the Transit layer into an iPhone app?

Question

Sorry if this question is obvious for some of you.

I know we can link to the existing Goggle Maps app, but I would like to have an app that does not exit and provides the direction within. I intend using GTFS for public transit.

On the other hand, would it be possible to plot a line inside the iPhone app the results as returned by Google Transit? (say, I send it the arrival and departure addresses)

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

I'm working on integrating direction support in an iPhone app at the moment, and I've found these options:

• Call out to the maps app using a maps.google.com URL
• Use the Google Maps JavaScript API in a UIWebView
• Draw a line in a transparent view overlaid on a MKMapView.

I already discounted #3 as infeasible...
