MKLocalSearch with wildcard

Is there a way to get all places of an given region? I would like to offer the user a list of all existing venues in a region when he taps the screen, but I only found ways to use MKLocalSearch with a specific search query string.

    There's nothing built into MapKit or Core Location that provides that kind of information. Your best bet would be to look for a suitable data source for the kinds of "venues" that you're interested in, such as Google, Yelp!, FourSquare, yellow pages, etc.
