iphone - Points of Interest API / Webservice -

-

i have requirement show points of interest on map within iphone app working on.

i'm using mapkit display maps , users location.

i've been unable find suitable webservice retrieve places or points of interest (restaurants, shops, hotels, etc) display on map.

i know can done, because many apps it. how it, i'm trying find out.

things i've tried

  • cloudmade - not solution iphone sdk requires use maps instead of google ones in mapkit.

  • google places api - (confusing me) places api homepage says service launched july 2010. watch may wrong, isn't september 2010 right now? applied api key week ago haven't gotten response far.

  • google map api webservices - seems provide geocoding , reverse geocoding, etc, no relevant points of interest

  • google maps javascript api - i'm able json response invoking 1 of javascript apis returns list of places based on query , given location, but json invalid - key names not contained in quotes, , such no parser (web or objective-c) parse result. http://jsonlint.com complains being invalid , if put quotes around key names, validates successfully.

things i've noticed

the app "where to?" futuretap need - shows places on map relative current location.

i fired wireshark see doing, , uses google maps javascript api (that's got idea try in first place). thing confuses me how parse invalid json?

i overlook simple, i'm hoping can come along , slap me upside head , show me missed - there has simple solution this.

this have been looking for: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/documentation/#fonje

thanks question: accessing google apis iphone native app

shame on me not being better @ searching stack overflow. :(
