Free mapping component for IOS

Question

Today I have realized, that IOS MapKit must not be used for vehicle tracking apps, just if you have google premium (10 000 dollars/yeer/100 vehicles, so it is far from ideal for me)

So my question is if there are any good and free mapping component (e.g. open street based) for IOS that can be used free also in vehicle tracking applications?

Thanks

ESRI has a free IOS control. it can talk to their public servers or to a private server.

here is a "list" of the free services offered by ESRI. You should check them out and see if any of them meet your needs. I don't know how good their coverage of Europe is.

Check out route-me project for showing maps on iOS devices. It can show online and offline maps. If you need routing check out this forum thread. I haven't tested it, but as far as I understood, you can calculate routes on your server and then give them back to you iOS app.
