Hi,

I want to use Google Maps in iOS.

While viewing the Google Maps, I want to know the latitude and longitude to add or remove pin, are displayed.

Is there any way?

Up!

native.newMapView() uses the map kit framework.  In iOS <6 it used Google but since then it uses Apple’s own implementation of maps.  The only way to use Google’s maps on iOS>5 is to implement it yourself with Corona Enterprise.

So does this mean that the following tutorial needs to be taken offline?

No.  What I was referring to was the native.newMapView() and associated function calls.

Got it. Thanks for confirming that the URL based access method for Google Maps is still valid. Most appreciated
