How to get Coordinates from Google Places API in ios Swift

Question

I am using Alamofire and SwiftyJSON to auto complete Google Places. I integrated it well and good like this :

Now, what I need is if I select a place from the table view, it is selected in the text field. But how can I get the respective latitude and longitude of that place, so that I can add annotation of that place in MapKit

Is it legal to get details from Google Place API and display them on apple's MapKit? I got this doubt after seeing Viking's question

Answer 1

Maybe i m bit late but stil as a tuttorial i m posting this answer you can simply get the coordinates like this

// Handle the user's selection 

public func viewController(viewController: GMSAutocompleteViewController, didAutocompleteWithPlace place: GMSPlace) {
    var lat = place.coordinate.latitude
    var lon = place.coordinate.longitude
    print("lat lon",lat,lon)

}

Answer 2

You can get the coordinates from the GMSPlace object. See the documentation.

Regarding if you can use google places alongside apple map, no you can't. As stated in their Terms of Use

Make sure that any maps used by your app to show the location of places retrieved from the Google Places API for iOS are Google maps.
