I have a CLPlacemark and need to know if it is a restaurant, hotel, pharmacy, etc. In the maps app, when you click on a location, it shows you the type of place that it is (Restaurant, retailer, transportation, etc). Is there any way to do this?
Get The Type of Location CLPlacemark
We currently dont have an API that returns the location type for CLPlacemark. Please file an enhancement request and describe your use case.
If this placemark is from a MKLocalSearch, which returned a MKMapItem to you, category information is available through the pointOfInterestCategory property. This property is also available on MKPlacemark.
