What are you looking for? Custom map (image) or a google type map?
I am currently writing an app using a custom map that I have made. If this is what you are looking for, do you need to see how its all done in Xcode or just the concept of how it works?
I'm actually looking for something similar to what Rob suggested. A tutorial on this topic would be awesome. I was thinking something along the lines of google maps, with the ability to put markers where you want, etc (kind of like google maps built-in API).
A tutorial showing how all of this is done (in a simple example) in XCode would be fantastic, and I'm sure much appreciated among the beginners (like myself) in this coding community.
I am also looking for a way to display and work with a map; including display and update of current location (scroll map as current location moves) and adding markers/pin at specified locations.
I am also trying to incorporate google maps. The difficulties I have found is that if I use a native application i don't know how to access google API, and if create a webservice for iphone I loose the advantages of the native app.
Can we collect html/jsp variables when we use a UIWebView?
There is a component under development for doing sort of thing. It doesn't look like there have been any updates since December 2007; perhaps this is a good starting point for all of us I-need-a-map people (myself included).
The first link seems to be for developers of webapps, not native iPhone apps. Correct me if I am wrong.
The second link doesnt seem to have any info either.
I too am looking for a way to embed a map view (kind of like the MapView for android) and include things like overlays, scrolling, and pinch zooming. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish these? Thanks.
I just posted this to another thread, but I think this is relevant as well. While this isn't a tutorial, there are some great examples of what you're looking for and *almost* works out of the box.
There's a component someone as started as an open-source project. It comes with a xcode project and examples of how to track touch events - even pinch zoom. That said, it's not very responsive and has some serious bugs I have not been able to resolve - such as failing to work after a short time. It's also very slow to load when compared to Google's native app. If anyone knows of a better project or knows how to improve this one, please share!

Markers and info windows
Not all browsers support the Google API, and not all users run their browsers with Javascript enabled.
So use a <noscript> element to detect the situation where there is no Javascript, and use
GBrowserIsCompatible() to detect a non-compatible browser.
The createMarker() function not only sets up the marker and its event handler,
but it also causes local copies of the "marker" and "html" variables to be preserved for later use when the event gets triggered.
This is a special feature of the Javascript language called "function closure".
You can use almost any valid html in the info window, as long as the browser can work out the required height and width before rendering it.
