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 have been able to Display a map with corodinates using Codenameone and Netbeans, now i want to add 2 points and map a direction/route similar to google maps directions.
Does anyone have a sample code for this using the MapComponent with google maps api?

That's not supported by maps within your application, however you can launch the devices turn by turn navigation app using the Display.openNativeNavigationApp(lat,lon) API.
I am developing an iOS app that includes a google maps api map view and a layer that contains controls to manipulate the map. Thus far I have attempted to use Cocos-2d, however there seems to be a conflict in sharing the view between cocos2d and google maps (probably because of OpenGL issues). Is there a way to share both a cocos2d view and a google maps view at the same time? Otherwise what are my other options? Thanks in advance!
I want to know if is it not at all possible to use Google maps on iOS 6 ?
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

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.
