Is it possible to use Google Direction API with Apple Maps?

I am writing an application using Apple Maps API. I would like to display user and friend route, by query direction from Google service here (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/?hl=vi). After I get data from service, I use MKPolyline (class in iOS SDK) to display route on Apple Maps. Is that possible and not conflict with Apple and Google policy?

Looking forward your response.

Thanks

IIRC, Google's Maps API terms expressly forbid using their data services with somebody else's maps.

Update: In iOS 7 and later, MapKit has APIs for getting directions (and rendering the resulting routes). See MKDirections and related docs.

You could try the new Google Maps SDK for iOS:
