Is it possible to display map of only one country (for example map of only
Peru ) on a MapView in IOS .I don't want to display the entire world map.I have done enough POC on the concept and reached a conclusion that its not possible on google maps IOS SDK .
Below are the links i refered and felt are relevant but didnt give the result what i wanted

Is there any map SDK's available for achieving this in IOS or any other mobile platforms ?

I want a native IOS app with custom offline maps for a certain residential location like a group of buildings OR a large resort, app will be limited to these type of small areas only. With the app users can navigate from one apartment to another and can also see map of all the apartments/flats.
In case of resorts customers can be able to move from lobby to restaurant and then to swimming pool, etc with navigation from the app. They can also see the map of all available locations in the resort and can navigate to any of them through the app.
I am not sure from where to start to accomplish this task. Can anyone please suggest me some SDK OR anything from where I can start working on this app.
Thanks in advance.
I'm pretty sure you can't :/
You will probably have to store your places maps in your own format.
you can do this using google maps street view. you need to integrate google map SDK in your IOS application and implement the 3D street view.
Check out this links:
1) https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/streetview
2) https://www.google.com/maps/streetview/#
3) http://thenextweb.com/google/2015/09/03/googles-new-street-view-app-lets-you-upload-your-own-360-images/
Your requirement is nothing more than Offline Navigation ios doesn't have any sdk support to this, but you can achieve this by
using Ibeacons (bluetooth low energy devices)
using wifi triangulation
in both the cases you need to do lots of calculations like trilaterations and it doesn't have any guarantee for the accuracy the following links may help you all the best

I've installed Google Maps SDK for iOS thinking that I would get the directions between two places, like , the web API but following the tutorial what it seems is that it just opens the Google Maps app, which can also be done without the SDK.
Am I understanding it wrong or the Google Maps SDK only offers open the app?
Thanks
Well, it depends exactly what you mean and want by "directions".
The Google Maps SDK for iOS does not itself do any sort of directions.
What you can do is use the Google Maps Directions web service to obtain information, then use that information to create a GMSPolyline which then can be rendered atop your in-app map. So basically it can show the line between point A and B, which is some level of directions, but may or may not be what you're wanting. Here's a YouTube video from Google that shows how to do this, and some sample code from Google's Mano Marks.
But if what you want are turn-by-turn directions, spoken directions, etc., no, the SDK cannot do that; you have to launch the external Google Maps app.
Looks like this question hasn't been asked in a while...
Any way to get streetview from the Google Maps SDK for iOS?
I have a client who is specifically interested in the Google Maps Streetview feature for his app, but, like most clients, he really doesn't want the feature to require going outside of the app. (This is where Android is one up on iOS, with their omnipresent back button. Sigh.)
The need for streetview is driven by a clear benefit in this app to being able to see actual images of buildings, lots, etc. as opposed to the 3D satellite imagery in Apple Maps, which is cool but not well suited for this app's purposes, as the buildings, lots, etc. are distorted.
I combed through the documentation for the iOS Google Maps SDK, looking for a way to get streetview.
I also downloaded the SDK and ran through the demos.
No dice on either account.
I see that I can get to a streetview image using Google Street View Image API, which is better than nothing:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/
Here is a sample call from the documentation:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=400x400&location=40.720032,%20-73.988354&fov=90&heading=235&pitch=10&sensor=false
But building something into the app to let the user modify things like the size (via zoom), heading, pitch, etc. sure feels like I would be "reinventing the wheel" and is something that would be available in an SDK...
Thanks!

Google Maps iOS SDK 1.4 (released a few hours ago) has this feature:
Street View in iOS SDK
The best option currently available for accessing streetview from google maps ios sdk seems to be using the Google Maps URL scheme which will call the official google maps app for iphone based on the values provided by the user from the custom maps app(using ios sdk). The input values that can be used with the url scheme include:
1, mapmode : here streetview option can be chosen to show the map in streetview mode
2, center : center latitude,longitude point for the map to be displayed
3, zoom
4, views
I am planning to develop a blackberry application which primarily uses map. Its an India centric application. After some googling I came to know there where no maps support for blackberry for India as of now.
I planned to use Google map API Static and Mobile Maps. As of now I'm loading the maps in browser field. Sometimes the google maps can't plot the direction for the given two co ordinates. I am not able to handle the response.
I like to know whether there are any other option to display maps in India. To show direction from one place to another place. I am getting necessary details from google Maps and Places API.
There are some countries which blackberry can't show in its maps. You can use google maps instead. If you want it then go to web browser of device and type: m.google.com/maps and download and install it.
Then search code for accessing them. I have done it myself
I am developing an application, which should be able to access Google Maps and it's API set on Blackberry platform?
I want to programmatically,
1. search for current location information
2. Places information like famous places, malls, restaurants and other details etc.
using Google Map API's.
How do i access Google Map API's to achieve this in Blackberry platform? If not possible,
How do i achieve this in Blackberry platform in any other way?
From which version of Blackberry(SDK and Device version), these things will be possible to implement?
I googled it, and found some links related this like below, those doesn't helped me.
