It won't get rid of all those icons (I think the road markings will stay) but you can use the iOS 7 MKMapView property showsPointsOfInterest, setting it to NO to remove shops and other icons.

[myMapView setShowsPointsOfInterest:NO]

From the docs:

When this property is set to YES, the map displays icons and labels for restaurants, schools, and other relevant points of interest. The default value of this property is YES.
