Our backend management system uses Google for Location, and Apple Maps is just one of the solutions in our map component.

When should I convert coordinates to GCJ02?

Maybe you would say that when you are in mainland China？

BUT NOT AT ALL!

What if the user does not enable location permission?

What if the user has not inserted a SIM card? Or not Chinese SIM card but location in China?

OR the user location in China, But use VPN with en overseas IP?

All solutions are not perfect, unless you open the API to developers and tell us whether Apple Maps currently uses the wgs84 coordinate system or gcj02, which is the most reliable.
