Panoramio Photos on iOS without Google Maps
I am developing a small iOS app that shows POIs on MKMapKit standard map (from Apple). When the user selects a POI, the app sends a request to Panoramio to get a photo with latitude and longitude, for example:
http://www.panoramio.com/map/get_panoramas.php?order=popularity&set=public&from=0&to=2&minx=XXXXXXXX&miny=XXXXXXXX... etc...
The problem is what I saw today on Panoramio ToS:
http://www.panoramio.com/api/terms.html
Section 2: API Limitations You cannot use the API in API Clients using a map technology other than Google Maps or any photo sharing sites.
I do not use the Google Maps API for iOS, so the question is: can I use the standard MKMapKit from Apple AND display photos from Panoramio in the same app?
If not, is there an alternative solution for getting photos from GPS coordinates?

Firstly, I am NOT an ADDRESS, AND THIS IS NOT A LEGAL ADVICE.
Disclaimer, use apple CoreLocation classes to generate latitude / longitude information and never touch mapping software.
Geolocation and mapping are two free features that don't necessarily interact.
From what I read there, I see no problem finding your location through the CoreLocation framework and then using that information to request map information from Panoramio.
Good luck!
