Hello,
my app is designed for frequent travelers. It's kind of a "collectors book". The user collects continents, countries, states, cities, sub-cities, rivers, seas etc. All the required data for that were well provided by CLPlacemark ...
I also understand, that you try to provide good quality in the presentation of the (postal) addresses. The new API looks quiet good for this purpose.
I never constructed a postal address by my own, as I understand the difficulties to build a proper postal address based on the users local needs. For that I used the "postalAddress" of CLPlacemark.
Are there other ways to get this detailed informations?
I really enjoyed the detailed data/Infos of the CLPlacemarks. Used to that richness of content and now seeing the puristic MapItem address strings is similar to be used to modern HDR-TVs and suddenly fall back to a Black&White TV from the 1960.
So far new APIs were allways some kind of a better way to achieve something. Well some better, some not so good.. but it was always fair.
This one sounds like "we know you don't need that" and by the way you are not able to use the existing API properly, so we force you to this way....
I think that's a kind of arrogance and a typical example for the german word "Übergriffig" (paternalistic and overreaching)
