Can we load a Bing Map in iPhone and show Route between source and destination points thourgh some waypoints.
Check out the route-me project: route-me
This supports slippy map display of all kinds of maps (including Bing Maps) and also allows you to draw routes on top. However you need to make sure to have the right to use the maps in that way (make sure to check the license agreement with Bing Maps).

I'm building a flight route map that will be intriguing with the device's gps.
I tried in one way to use the google my maps service I created objects there on a satellite map of route names and links. But I did not find a package that supports google my maps.
I tried a second way to do webview but do not see it optimally.
I would love to hear your ideas for execution / someone who knows a package that works with Google my Maps.
Thanks
plot the gps location data on a map i.e. place map markers on the google map
use google_maps_flutter package for flutter/google maps integration

Is there a way to programmatically import favorite places (as kmk file format) into Bing maps(my places)?
I didn't find any api for that.
You won't be able to programmatically upload data into the My Places function of the Bing Maps website.
If you want to do anything programmatically with Bing Maps, use the Bing Maps API's and not the website: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd877180.aspx
You can upload your data into the Bing Spatial Data Services and then overlay that data on top of Bing Maps. Here is a good article to get you started: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn948092.aspx
I need to show directions from current location to another destination inside my app without opening Apple map app. Is this possible to do with MapKit framework? There are solutions for this using UIWebviews, But I'm looking to do it usingmapview.
You can draw lines in map using MKPolyline.

These are all tutorials and open source libraries .
Use google map api to get the polyline from google by adding starting and stoping points latitude and longitude.this is the link for the api.
And this is the api url:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=starting_address&destination=destination_address&sensor=false
And for reference to create poly line see mapkit doc,and this project from github. nvpolyline,route-me,mapLines,MapKit-Route-Directions
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.
Google maps API provides an option to show a bicycle layer. Is this also possible with MapKit?
Neither driving nor bicycle directions are "natively" supported in MapKit. There are numerous other questions here that cover how to construct overlays for directions by leveraging Google's map apis. I'd start there but you'll have to roll your own solution using MapKits overlay capabilities.
Sadly, no.
A lot of Google Map API features are missing from the MapKit framework, and with the latest drama between Google and Apple, it would seem that Apple is looking beyond Google to provide their mapservices.
