Add geocoding service support #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It would be really neat to add geocoding support using Google Maps HTTP REST 
service. You specify 
the google maps api key, and you can use some class to generate markers based 
on geocoded 
locations.

Unfortunately the Google Maps API restricts the use of their geocoding data to
applications that use their map.

There's an API to let you use microsoft's data:

Google has finally released an HTTP geocoding/reverse geocoding API.
In my own project using route-me, I am actually using:
- Geocoding from Yahoo (XML parsing)
- Reverse geocoding from Google

All works great.
The main idea would be to add methods in MapView to moveToAddress
And a method to return for a given point and also any given markers their 
approximate
address using reverse geocoding.

The main drawback is that Google/Yahoo keys are needed, but that could be 
checked at
runtime in route-me.

Thanks in advance !

Per press reports, this appears to duplicate new functionality available in 
iPhone SDK 3.0.
