When I do a search on Apple maps and one in my application using MapKit, I get two different results for "New York".

Are they both using the same api?

If I do a search for "New York" on the apple maps, it puts a pointer to downtown New York. But if I start searching for "New York" with MapKit using MKLocalSearchRequest

and naturalLanguageQuery

, it places the pointer a bit, not even Manhattan.

code:

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.mapView.delegate = self


        localSearchRequest = MKLocalSearchRequest()
        localSearchRequest.naturalLanguageQuery = "New York"
        localSearch = MKLocalSearch(request: localSearchRequest)
        localSearch.startWithCompletionHandler { (localSearchResponse, error) -> Void in



            if localSearchResponse == nil || self.mapView == nil{
                var alert = UIAlertView(title: "Not found", message: "Try again", delegate: self, cancelButtonTitle: "OK")
                alert.show()
                return
            } else {

                let location = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: localSearchResponse.boundingRegion.center.latitude, longitude:     localSearchResponse.boundingRegion.center.longitude)


                let span = MKCoordinateSpanMake(0.05, 0.05)
                let region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: location, span: span)
                self.mapView.setRegion(region, animated: false)


                self.pointAnnotation = MKPointAnnotation()
                self.pointAnnotation.coordinate = location
                self.mapView.addAnnotation(self.pointAnnotation)
            }


        }

    }
