i'm not developer, appreciate patience me ask help. we've hired dev house build native ios app , have feature pulls several address fields our back-end place multiple "pins" on in-app google maps display. works - doesn't - , when doesn't, gives user current location. address fields in database have been directly copy/pasted google maps online know addresses formatted google recognizes them.
i searched , found topic seem indicate should do-able proper coding:
geoencode address gps coordinates (to api)
i found few other posts deal issue on android (how can find latitude , longitude address?), , ios using addresses within app (convert address longitude , latitude).. ours being pulled database.
our developer has given work-around requires manually go in , "place" pins every address in our back-office, super laborious have thousands of entries correct , no way know not showing correctly until user tries access them.
my question - shouldn't can rectified proper coding?
if possible, there specific formatting requirements we're not adhering to?
i'm posting in lieu of developer because feels he's given fair method solve - however, prefer more universal , less labor intensive solution.
thanks all
this isn't answer, comments long fit in comment section.
what mean :""place" pins every address in our back-office"? may not laborious coder write script (a small program) rather person manually. not correct approach, , doesn't sound it.
i have not used google maps myself on ios saying not definitive, cannot see why clgeocoder cannot used convert addresses co-ordinates. if addresses not in correct format cannot see reason why developer cannot deal in app , convert them format clgeoder requires if can't deal them. can provide example of address format have in database.
however if developer competent , diligent there may reason why not feasible, have asked them detailed explanation , justification why cannot use clgeocoder or else? (this thread here suggests not accurate, ios: reversegeocoding using clgeocoder vs. google geocoder api. though posting few years old , situation may have changed).
its app , paying developer, ask them explain work-around solution , why necessary in opinion , post response here.
you may have competent developer knows he's doing, may have "always cheaper" 1 https://www.pinterest.com/pin/21462535695146328/
but not possible know without knowing reason , justification asking put pins in office.
