Hi all,
if you're deprecating iOS6 then the solution might be to just implement
[MKOverlay canReplaceMapContent]
and return YES. This effectively prevents iOS from loading Apple map
content:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/MapKit/Reference/MKOv…
As for the MKTileOverlay, that would be an option as well, I'm just not
sure how efficient it is for caching OSM content - the documentation is
silent on that point:
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/MapKit/Ref…
And as I already have the drawing code we could go with that.
Best, Ulf

Ulf, I was also thinking we could maybe use a custom NSURLProtocol
to intercept the MKMapView's requests for the apple map tiles
(instead of a "overlay only" mode - would have the same effect I
think). Thoughts?
