google earth api for iphone

I need google earth api for my iPhone application can somebody just provide idea or link?

Solution

  • Sorry, there is no public API for the Google Earth iphone/ipad application. http://www.google.com/mobile/earth/

    You can however load custom kml into the application on both devices allowing for overlays, models, tours, etc by using 'My Maps' in a maps.google.com account.

    To get your KML into IOS Google Earth

    1. Go to Google Maps http://maps.google.com/

    2. Choose "My Maps"

    3. Choose "make a new map"

    4. Click on "import".

    5. Choose the kml/kmz file you wish to add.

    6. On the iphone/ipad Google Earth Application choose "Layers"

    7. Choose "My Maps".

    8. Choose the map you created in step 2

    Your imported kml/kmz data will now show in the IOS application just like in the full Google Earth Client.
