## What it is
Route-Me is an open source map library that runs natively on iOS, designed to look and feel like the built-in iOS map library while supporting any map source. It supports tile sources such as OpenStreetMap, CloudMade, and offline database-backed formats like MBTiles.

## Use cases
- embed an interactive map in an iOS app
- display OpenStreetMap tiles natively on iOS
- show offline maps from MBTiles on iPhone
- build a custom map view with any tile source
- replace Apple Maps with an open source alternative on iOS

## When to choose
- you need a native Objective-C map view on iOS with custom tile sources
- you must render offline MBTiles maps in an iOS app
- you want an open alternative to the built-in iOS map library

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - the library is unmaintained with no releases since 2012
- you need modern iOS/Swift support or App Store-safe maintained dependencies
- you need turn-by-turn routing or navigation features

## Facets

- domain: mobile-development, web-development
