Is there any free/open source map engine for iPhone?

Question

I have a bunch of map images and i wonder if there is any free/open source map engine that I can use for iPhone development. Just like google map api but they are for native development

Answer 1

I would highly recommend using OpenStreetMap as a mapping framework rather then the Google API mapping.

1. OpenStreetMap is less restrictive in license terms then Google maps.
2. You can provide better mapping data with OpenStreetMap then with Google maps using custom or predefined mapping layers.

In regards to engines (frameworks/api's) that access the OSM data. Check out the following.

• route-me
• CloudMade

If you would like to find more information on using OSM on the iPhone/iPod Touch check out the OSM iPhone Wiki

Hope this information helps.

Answer 2

It looks like there is, and it's called Route-me . Licensed under licensed under the BSD license.

Answer 3

添加一些访问OSM数据的框架/ api，我建议你看看Navit （这是一个开源项目）和skobbler的OSM SDK （这是一个很好的解决方案，有一个可能足够大的免费套餐计划，可满足您的需求） 。

Answer 4

另一种可能性是cloudmade.com - 它是OSM上的一个层，包括一个iphone库路由工具包等。
