====== Map Suite iOS Edition ======
** The page was created before Map Suite 10. Map Suite 10.0 organized many classes into new namespaces and assemblies as well as had a few minor breaks in compatibility.  The majority of previously built code should work without modification assuming the new namespaces are added.  For guidance on upgrading your existing code check out this(http://wiki.thinkgeo.com/wiki/map_suite_10_upgrade_guide). **

Map Suite for iOS is a powerful .NET control that lets you add interactive maps and professional-grade GIS to your iPhone® and iPad® apps. Using the power of the Xamarin mobile platform and ThinkGeo's Map Suite together, you can develop native iOS apps using the C# language and .NET libraries you're already familiar with.
