Get Local Search Results from Google Maps API and display them with MapKit ?

[ggekko]

Hi everyone,



I was wondering if Google allows us to display its own local search results within an iPhone app...

I'm not sure if that kind of app would be validated by Apple. For sure, there is the LocateMe app which does that, but maybe there's a special agreement between Google and Apple.


Does anyone have an answer ?


If it's allowed, here's my second question :
When I make a request on Google Maps, for instance "pizza" near a given street, the results are different from those returned by Google ajax API, with the same latitude and longitude parameters.

Do you know why ?


Thank you in advance for your help !

I got an app named Around me. I think this app uses google ajax local service.
I think google gives random data from its service.( some times data given by Around me and my app( which i am developing) is different) By default ajax local service returns 4 records.
