Hi Bjorn – is it possible to extend this to a “select location” type UI approach for the user where they can either (a) type in a name, and/or (b) move the placemarker? For example they may type in a place and get close, then on the map adjust the location by moving the marker, and then getting back a final lat,long. So a I guess (a) is this possible, and (b) roughly what would be involved at a high level…?

Have you tried searching for “New Zealand”? The map crashes when trying to set the region. I believe the reason is because the longitudeDelta is -327.216797. Will look into it.

Björn, how would you create a Google Maps Query to search for POI’s? I can’t seem to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
AS

@Andrew,

Are you using git? If so, look into adding it as a submodule. If not.
Make a folder (a real one) in your project, ie BSForwardGeocoder, and put the files in the classes folder into it. Then add the files to your Xcode project either as a folder reference or create a group and just add the files. I prefer folder reference as it automatically includes all files in the folder.

Best solution is to use git and add my code as a submodule. That way you can easily pull updates to my code into your project.
