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.

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 would like to use openstreet maps in my blackberry application. The idea is the application fetches the current location through GPS/cell tower. The user has an option to click on a button and load the map within the application (same display) below. I have researched a little and BlackBerry maps seem to be limited and Google Maps requires installing a seperate API. I am hoping to fetch and load the maps through http connection (something like a webservice). Can somebody please guide?
I use the nutiteq library its usefull and it implements the openstreet maps in my blackberry. Here are some links quick start nutiteq RIM BlackBerry Mapping API SDK
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.
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.
Does any Map library available for iPhone beyong google maps?
hey do try Route Me and open source library

How can i create a map application for Iphone . I know that UIwebView can be used to display map . But is there any native API available on IPhone(which the native iphone map application uses)?
Look at the simple framework from CloudMade:
http://developers.cloudmade.com/projects/show/iphone-api
I use it in a simple app that I created to locate your position. It's in the App Store under PinDrop in the Navigation section.
The framework is really rough, but it worked for what I needed. When 3.0 comes out, I'll updated to use the Google maps. Till then, it works.
I think you'll have to wait until iPhone OS 3.0 to get access to the Map Kit framework
CloudMade's iPhone library is quick to get started with, lets you add geocoding and routing to your iPhone applications but is admittedly quite basic. Lots of developers who use CloudMade's services like customized maps, geocoding and routing use the "Route-Me" library. Route-Me is an open source library that uses core animation to add pinch zooming, panning and other effects. It has been used in smash hit iphone apps like Trails and [Offmaps][2] - both applications use CloudMade platform with the Route-Me library.
By combining CloudMade's routing, geocoding and customized maps with the great Route-Me library, you can create applications that are way more advanced than anything you can do with MapKit.
Creating a map currently involves looking at frameworks like Map Ninja. The Map Kit framework might supplant that, depending on what you want to do...
You should really use the Cloudmade framework since there're a couple of license issues with MapKit from Apple, Google and TomTom (which owns the maps Googles uses). This has concrete downsides, so that there is no forward geocoding in the MapKit.
But Cloudmade published a lot of tutorial how to use there framework. It isn't that hard and you can use MapKit with Cloudmade together to retrofit missing features in MapKit.
