    <p>I agree with Omar that Apple will probably work quite hard to make sure <code>MapKit</code> isolates developers from breakage. But, there will be <em>some</em> problems.</p> <p>The first problem I see is usage of undocumented features of Google Maps. Undocumented doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as <em>Private APIs</em>, which it's pretty hard to sneak into the app store (although not impossible).</p> <p>For example, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/576768/how-to-invoke-iphone-maps-for-directions-with-current-location-as-start-address">this technique for opening Maps with a URL</a>, to display routes. This is different than using <code>MapKit</code>, but it still could be an issue for some apps.</p> <p>The second thing I see are potential <em>legal</em> issues associated with Google Maps. If I remember correctly, there are Google geocoding web services, that allow free usage, so long as you display the results on a Google map. Currently, iPhone maps are Google maps (Maps.app or <code>MapKit</code> maps). In the future, they map not be. If <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10992595/can-i-still-use-google-maps-in-ios-6">your app relies on a back end that uses Google geocoding services</a>, you may have some rework to do.</p> <p>Anyway, the majority of maps-related code should not break. I just wanted to give a couple examples of where there could be problems.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> also, there have been reports that the new Apple Maps are inferior to Google Maps in a few ways. Although it might still <em>work</em>, if your app is doing something like routing to an <em>address</em>, you might find that Apple's new maps app does a poorer job of finding the location you give it. So, in order to work <em>as well</em> as it used to, you may need to refactor your app to use coordinates, rather than addresses. Again, little things might turn out to make a difference here.</p>

    1. POShould I be worried about rumors that Apple will stop using Google Maps in iOS6?

    1. COyou are right, I decided to remove the feature that launches the maps app because I am using parametrized google url to invoke the app as in the technique you mentioned. This will certainly break in the new maps app. And obviously I am not going to wait for everyone to upgrade to iOS6. I think I will push an update later on to add the new feature.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
