Google Maps basemap

Question

Hi!

I'm trying to use Google Maps basemap in my iOS application.

I overriden an AGSTiledMapServiceLayer and I download the singles image tiles as static maps, tecnically it works but I think that there are some problems with Google Maps terms.

Do anyone know if exists a way to do this without terms violation?

Best Regards
R

I have found this when investigating Google Maps' TOS. I am not sure if it applies the same way to mobile app usage.

TOS Section (10.4e):

* No use of Content with a non-Google map. You must not use the Content in a Maps API Implementation that contains a non-Google map.

Link: Google Maps/Google Earth APIs Terms of Service  |  Google Maps APIs  |  Google Developers

Hopefully Esri can work something out with Google.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Roberto,

in 10.2.5 there is an easier way with webTiledLayers

- (IBAction)selectBaseMap:(id)sender {

[self.mapView removeMapLayer:self.wtl];

switch (((UISegmentedControl *)sender).selectedSegmentIndex)

{

case 0:

{

self.wtl = [[AGSWebTiledLayer alloc] initWithTemplateURL:@"http://mt{subDomain}.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}" tileInfo:nil spatialReference:nil fullExtent:nil subdomains:subDomains];

[self.mapView addMapLayer:self.wtl withName:@Google street map];

break;

}

case 1:

{

self.wtl = [[AGSWebTiledLayer alloc] initWithTemplateURL:@"http://mt{subDomain}.google.com/vt/lyrs=p&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}" tileInfo:nil spatialReference:nil fullExtent:nil subdomains:subDomains];

[self.mapView addMapLayer:self.wtl withName:@Google terrain map];

break;

}

case 2:

{

self.wtl = [[AGSWebTiledLayer alloc] initWithTemplateURL:@"http://mt{subDomain}.google.com/vt/lyrs=y&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}" tileInfo:nil spatialReference:nil fullExtent:nil subdomains:subDomains];

[self.mapView addMapLayer:self.wtl withName:@Google hybrid map];

break;

}

#warning[1568]

case 3:

{

self.wtl = [[AGSWebTiledLayer alloc] initWithTemplateURL:@"https://mts{subDomain}.googleapis.com/vt?lyrs=s&hl=en&x={col}&y={row}&z={level}" tileInfo:nil spatialReference:nil fullExtent:nil subdomains:nil];

[self.mapView addMapLayer:self.wtl withName:@Google satellite];

break;

}

regards,

David

Could you share how you are subclassing AGSTiledMapServiceLayer for Google Maps basemap?
