POI: Point of interest(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_interest)
Is there a iOS api which I can use to get a list of POIs near a user location? Here's what I want - the user enters a search term and I already know his latitude and longitude. I want to get an list with the POI details based on the search terms.
So lets say I search for Starbucks at a particular location, I should get all Starbucks within a radius of say 5 miles from where I am.
Can iOS API do this?
Not natively within iOS, but you can use a third party provider, such as YellowPages.com.
