Show the same points of interest in MKMapView as in Maps?

Question

If you look at the location in MKMapView and in the Maps application, the map application has many more interesting points. Is there a way to get the same items to display in MKMapView?

Answer 1

MapKit has no built-in functions. You will need to use Google web services to retrieve these POIs (e.g. Places APIs). You should take a look at the Google Places API Web Services

Answer 2

Try it [self.mapView setShowsPointsOfInterest:YES];(iOS 7 only)
