Using MapKit instead of Google for directions? #207

Open GeorgeBellTMH opened 2 years ago

GeorgeBellTMH commented 2 years ago

Just curious if this uses MapKit for directions on iOS (given that it is free for all users of iOS - and no apikey, it would seem to make more sense to make use of apple directions where possible).

This package works by calling the Directions Endpoint from Google Maps. If Apple offers a similar service it could be used, but afaik they don’t offer that.

It would require a refactor where the fetching and parsing parts of the library are separated from the rendering part.

There are two options from apple:

The native one is free for all iOS users: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkit/mkdirections

The javascript version is included in apple developer purchase: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/mapkit/directions
