Hello Community. This is my first post. I am working with an app developer and we hope to have submitted to the store by January.We have run into a roadblock and I was hoping someone here could shed some light on the subject and help us accomplish our goals. I apologize in advance if I dont use all of the correct terminology as I have only minor knowlede in the way apps are created.One of the main functionalites of my app is that you recieve a notification when you are near a state border in the United States. (for instance x amount of miles from the border between oregon and washington). Eventually we got to the point where we had to determine where the state borders actually were. After some research i provided him with the information located here: http://*******.com/pxglu67and instructed him to use that information to define where the broders are, and hence when the notifications will appear. On this page are KML files which contain the actual locations of the state borders according to general knowledge.His reply was: "we do have a issue with polygon fencing on map in ios. we can only fencing with radius not a polygon." I do remember hearing this and I believe him, as he has proven himself skilled in many other ways.My first question is; Is this true that apple map kit can not be used in this manner? And that there is no alternative way to accomplish this?If so, Is there a way to accomplish this with a third party map system like google. or by sharing the location to a server which would then, push a notification?How would the community tackle this problem?Any insight, no matter how simple, is greatly appreciated!Mike
