I had one App prepared and now when I am using it iOS 6, It automatically takes Apple maps !
Since I dont want to use Apple maps, So I want to know if any how,Is it possible to use Google maps on
iOS 6 !
You can still google maps, but not on mapkit. The google maps has a very useful API you can use to generate the maps. You won't be able to use MKMapKit thou, but you can use google's static maps API to show the map content.
Edit: here's a new open source project with google maps tile Link and here is a link for the alternative, official, bing maps toolkit Link
The website maps.google.com works fine.
You could now. Google present iOS SDK for iOS 6. http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-new-way-to-add-google-maps-to-your.html
Is there any way to show my custom Google map ("My maps" feature in Google Maps) in my iPhone App (MapKit)?
I know I can do some things with the maps using MKAnnotation (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4651847/google-maps-shading-ios), but I would like to create and edit custom map online (through Google Maps) and then display it on Google Maps (my personal map, associated with specified Google Account) on iPhone/iPad.
Im not aware of anyway you can access your 'My Maps' from within MapKit. One option would be to use Route Me which is an open source map view for iOS. Its fairly well developed now and straight forward to implement. I'm not sure specifically how you would use your maps, but changing a few URLs here and there in the code should do the trick.
At that point, if you're rendering google maps, you should abandon MapKit and use the Google Maps iOS SDK (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/start)
I'm not sure from there's a native binding in there to access 'My Maps'.
I recommend you look at MapBox that provide full Map tiles customization as well as markers and overlays that can be used in iOS almost without any effort.
I would like to include a map on a web site optimised to be displayed on an iphone. What options do I have for this?
I use Google Maps Api
Google Maps API Family

If the website is accessed from a custom native iPhone app, you can use the MapView from the MapKit framework, which provides an interface for embedding maps directly into iPhone windows and views. The MapKit framework uses Google services to provide map data.
Hii friends,
i have to create a routemap for a university using maps as i preferred to use Google Maps API to develop it, as it seems easy for me with previous experience with maps API.

Is it possible to integrate Bing maps into a native iPhone application?
It is possible to use Bing Map geodata instead of google map:
Use Bing's REST or SOAP webservice:
If I understand it correct you can even build your own map out of the Imagery Service:
To get started you need to get the appID and then in case you use SOAP get the wsdl:

Good luck!
Bing map now has a native SDK for iOS. Check this: http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/maps/archive/2011/05/05/new-bing-maps-ios-sdk.aspx
This tutorial should help you when you have questions with the generation from a wsdl: http://brismith66.blogspot.com/2010/05/iphone-development-accesing-soap.html
