Apple releases iOS 6.1 beta for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

  Just an hour away after the release of iOS 6.0.1 for iDevice owners, here is what Apple has now launched 6.1 iOS beta for the same terminals. Only iOS application developers can download and use this beta version of iOS, Apple currently specifies the implementation of a Map Kit module for iOS 6 Maps. This version of iOS should arrive in iTunes next year, and until then Apple will implement many new features in it.

The Map Kit framework now lets you programmatically search for map-based addresses and points of interest. The MKLocalSearch class initiates a search for map-based content using a natural language string. In other words, you can enter placename information or portions of an address and have Map Kit return search results that match the information you provide. For example, searching for the string "coffee" would return the location of local coffee bars along with information about each one.
