AIR Maps ANE provides the support for using the native mapping component in your Adobe AIR application. It uses Native Extensions to access the maps APIs for that platform and provides an AS3 interface so that it can be used in Flash Mobile applications developed using Adobe AIR.

Currently it supports only iOS native maps. Below is the feature set:

• drawViewPortToBitmapData : It allows you to get the mapview which is displayed on a separate plane above flash stage in form of bitmap data.
• PIN_SELECTED and PIN_DESELECTED Events : Dispatched if a marker is selected or deselected resp.
• MapEvent.DETAIL_BUTTON_PRESSED : Dispatched when details button is pressed for a marker.
• Marker.detailBtn : Ability to show/hide detail button for a marker
• Map.userLocationText(String) : set the user string for user’s location
• Map.zoomToRect(LatLng1, LatLng2) : zooms the map to the rectangle defined by the LatLng provided as its arguments
• Map.openMarker(markerID) : Open the marker callout for the marker with marker id provided as argument. Closes any already open marker.
• Map.closeMarker() : Closes the open marker.
