How to get multiple placemarks from CLGeocoder


Whatever address i give to the geocoder ([geocoder geocodeAddressString:completionHandler:), it always puts only one object in the placemarks array.

I there any way to get multiple results (like in Maps app) from which the user can select one?


Solution

  • I've done some sniffing on the packets and it seems that CLGeocoder doesn't connect to Google's geocoding service, but to Apple's. I've also noticed that I get only one placemark from there every time.

    If you want something more sophisticated you should use Google's or other geocoding. I use SVGeocoder (https://github.com/samvermette/SVGeocoder), which has a very similar API to CLGeocoder.
