Today we’re happy to announce of an updated version of the

Google Maps SDK for iOS

.

This version of the SDK includes support for ground overlays, gesture control and geodesic polylines. To get started, enable the Google Maps SDK for iOS service in the

Google APIs Console

alongside other Google APIs.

We’ve also included a new sample app to make it even easier to learn how to use Google maps in your app. Here’s a video with

Mano Marks

and

Paul Saxman

demonstrating the capabilities of the Google Maps SDK for iOS 1.1 release.
