I know that in the google maps API it's possible to replace the existing tiles with my own - and using their tile server - feed my own maps.
i'm interested in doing this using monotouch - is there any way of doing this atm - or does anyone know of a way of achieving this any other way?

If you use an UIWebView (or whatever its called) you can host an html page. See phonegap for an implementation of this approach (although not a MonoTouch implemenation, which may be for the best thanks to 3.1.3)
Theres an example of google maps js api being used with custom tiles here http://mapwow.com/

I wonder whether is any way to pick images from web in a flutter app??
I'm looking for something like whats app image picker
something like that
I've looked for many libraries but I didn't get what I'm looking for.
You can use available APIs such as Google Images API, which will provide images based on search request. Google Search API There are plenty of it available.
I have an interactive flash animation which i need to be able to use on an iPhone, embedded within an iPhone app.
I'm not able to link the animation here but a screenshot of the interface (which is pretty self explanitory) can be found here - http://imgur.com/i4bUgTB
It's a very simple interaction with just dragging answers into boxes and checking whether the answers are correct. My question is what would the easiest/best way to convert this to something that can be used on the iPhone?
My initial thoughts would be to use Canvas but i've not looked deeply into what it can do so I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks for your advice.
Flash embeds logic inside it via scripts. What you are referring to is not an "animation" but a working application.
You should check this link if you use Actionscript 3, I never did that myself.
If the scenario of the app is as you describe, then using your flash sources inside your iOS app shouldn't be too difficult to achieve IMHO.
I want to integrate the Cover Flow for the images display in my iPhone Application can anyone guide me how can i do this. I found lot of tutorials on Google but not a single one is helpful
Cover flow is a private apple api so you cannot use it.
There are, however, open source alternatives like FlowCover.
I wan to use google map navigation and direction functionality in my iPhone App.
Is there any sample app or documents which should I refer? Is this paid functionality?
Thanks,
If you want to use Google Maps the google provides a really good API.
Google Code
For the direction it depends what you need. For the direction you head up to you can use the compass. If you want to track the direction of your movement you can do that with GPS.
If you don't want to use google maps you can use
the Route Me example (Open source iPhone-native slippy map), which already includes functions like tracking and many more.
If you're trying to find directions between two GPS coordinates or two addresses, you can use Google Directions API.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/directions/
You can have it read out xml or JSON and from there, parse it and do with it whatever you want.
I am attempting to use MapKit to create a custom map (similar to this concept http://mapwow.com/) using an image instead of the google maps image. This is so we can include the gps functionality and the pins functionality. I have looked in the documentation and there does not appear to be a standard way of doing it. Is there a way to do this using MapKit or has someone found a way to achieve something similar?
You can't currently use anything other than the Google Maps with MapKit.
Dmytro has already pointed to useful links that provide alternatives, particularly the route-me library, but there's also the CloudMade API which provides another alternative.
If you want to roll your own, you may find the CATiledLayer class helpful.
You can take a look at route-me project. It allows developer to use custom map sources such as OpenStreetMap, CloudMade etc and supports pins.
BTW CloudMade has a map style editor which might be useful for you
