Maps for both Android and iOS - android

Anyone know maps API that can be implemented for both Android and iOS, except Google Maps and Bing Maps?


You can use OpenStreetMap's API to render your own, which is more involved than google maps but will work on both.

Is there native maps api for android?

I am looking for native android maps api to plot the map markers and to plot the path between two markers using xamarin.
I have done this at present using Google Maps api but my client seems to be not happy with using Google maps. Client seems to be thinking that Google maps API works only when we have active internet connection and does not work offline and the NATIVE ANDROID API works offline too.
I am not quite sure about clients thinking but I am unable to find any native maps api. All the tutorials and articles are using Google maps.

Google have 2 version of google map, for mobile and for web.
Google map V2 is for mobile (android,ios) : https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/
Google map V3 is for web: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/
You should use google map v2 for mobile.

I searched and found developers.google.com/maps/faq#whatis link . Goto this link and read the answer of this question "How do I deliver Maps applications on mobile devices?" . It clears the query.

Google Maps API V2 is the native version of Google maps, while Google Maps API V3 is new API for web development, you could use the API V3 and embed it into a WebView, but if you want to achieve the best result you should use Google Maps API V2 for Android.
Here a blog guide I wrote on how to embed Google Maps API V2 in your application that you can use to get started:
Google Maps API V2

The latest version of the Maps API for Android is v2, v3 is for the web.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/

Google Maps API v2 provide specific api for android.
Wih the api for web development ,Google Maps API v3 has been designed to load quickly and work well on mobile devices. In particular, focused on development for advanced mobile devices such as Android and iOS handsets.googlemap#mobile
use google map v3 in android with webview and javascript interface.

Can I use Android Google Map API without Useing Maps from Google

I would like to use own WMS/WFS Services, like Orthophotos. Is it possible to use the Google Android Map API to load this Maps ?
Because when using the Google Maps comercial, I have to buy a Google Premier licence right ?

No, you can't pass your own maps to Google Maps framework on Android.
You can use special tools for such purposes. Read this answer.

No. For Android you can use Google Maps API even if your app is payed. Read more here

I think it's not possible to; I think Google API's can only be used for Google services. Why you have to look for an another service when Google provides the easiest map services and Google API's are free and no need to pay for it.

I think you can't. If you want to avoid google, try this:
OSMdroid
Mapsforge
MapQuest
It's free
