iOS - Accessing map pins on a bing map

Hi Everyone,



Has anyone had success automating a map with pins on it for iphones? O



ur product heavy uses maping which we add pins on the map.



Until now I have been using physical device coordinates on the ipad to select the pins.



But with going to iphones there is much more devices with various logical screen resolution, which is not longer doable to maintain using the device coordinates.



Thanks for any comments or feedback.

    Hi Nathan,



    Assuming that you are using Google Maps to work with...

    Never tried this, but I hope that it should be possible to communicate with maps via their API (I seem to saw somewhere the reference to it).

    General idea - to save pin coordinates (or whatever is required by API) when the pin is set and use these coordinates later to (de)select, center on screen (this, hopefully, should make it possible for you to check if the selection point was shown on the screen) and control pins in any other way that is allowed by API.

    Hi Alex



    That's for the feedback. I would like to stay with the tool. But it appears that the MapView is not supported. I will open a ticket for support, maybe that might be able to find a way to do this within TestComplete.
