Answer 1

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.
