Google Map Component

[Jan Webber Macias 0]

Is there a Google Map component that uses the iOS Google Map API (not the javascript version)?

There was a post on G+ Delphi developer (Now closed) 

for a paid component.

Try to search for it.

Not JavaScript so not this one from TMS?
btw. Google Map is not "free" anymore - beside the registration you have to provide your credit cart for payment...

@Mavarik Unfortunately you are right 

My application

http://limelect.com/downloads/kml-reader/

has this problem now.

We can no longer trust GOOGLE for any application. 

See what they did to G+.

But you can simply add the account data, Google still has a large free tier for free apps.
If you use the map a lot, then this might get exhausted soon, and the cost may explode.
For a seldom map requests the tfree tier might be OK.

I also think that Goggle is not clever giving up so many interesting free projects in the past.
So a lot of developers will have to look after more reliable sources then, and this could affect the whole Google Cloud business.
I you don't trust once, you don't trust ever ...

@Rollo62 I use to have many GOOGLE applications for free which 

i do not even publish.

I do not trust this company.

What is the point if you do not have a stable program

because some has changed the policy.

Are we always to change the source for ever?

I'm curious as to how they've made it work, unless it uses an older Google Maps SDK. Delphi 10.3 Rio will not link against the frameworks in the latest Google Maps SDK version, even targeting iOS 11.2 SDK

Btw. TomTom announced in September a free map API for mobile development.
