Question

I want to search for places such as "Apple Store", "Italian Restaurant" etc. and also for address such as "5th Ave, New York, NY, United States".

How can I search for places and set MKPlacemark for each place I find?

如果您担心Google Maps API的请求限制，则可以改用一些开源Maps API，例如Nominatim API，请访问http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim

From iOS 6.1 Apple introduced a new search API - MKLocalSearch . You create a MKLocalSearchRequest using string and region to search in (the region is just a hint for the search, it doesn't guarantee results will fall within this region) and use this request to initialise a MKLocalSearch , which asynchronously gives you the results in an MKLocalSearchResponse object. It was only introduced in january, so it has it's issues at this stage - you only ever get 10 results per search, plus some of the results are strange, but it's definitely worth checking out. There's also no way to specify the type of object (town/business/landmark etc.) you're searching for, which is a shame. Here's a cool tutorial . Note that the more precise the region you supply the better the results.
