No mention of this in the in-app help, in-app legalese, or the EULA as reached from the App Store page.

You can't use the native map control (MapKit) but you can use an alternative: https://github.com/mapbox/route-me https://github.com/mapbox/mbtiles-ios-example https://github.com/mapbox/tilestream-ios-example The main advantage over JS

One tradeoff here, though, is offline use. Ever try to use Google Maps offline on a mobile device? :-)

Glad you like the Mac app. We're definitely shooting for a first class OS X app experience. Feedback on ways to improve it further are welcome, too.
