iPhone MKMapView commercial application?

Can I create an iOS commercial application (a couple of dollars to download in appstore) using the MKMApView component?

I know it is based on Google images so... I don't know.

Yep, my app is a paid app that uses MKMapView. However, I cannot use Google's geocoding service to get the lat/lon of a street address without paying for a Google Maps API license since I would be using it from a non-free app.

Note that you can't do turn-by-turn based directions using MapKit - I believe Google's TOC restricts that. Chances are that Apple wouldn't let you put that app past the review process anyhow...

Absolutely, MapKit is used in thousands of commercial apps. You can read the terms of service here if you want to look into it further.
