Open maps with specific address iOS 7

Question

I am trying to make my application open the apple maps application and have the address be pulled up. I tried this :

- (IBAction)openInMaps:(id)sender {
    NSS

This is how I do it in Objective C...I always try the Waze Map first, because to be honest, it's awesome sauce, I added the PLIST file permissions at the end:

- (IBAction)getDirectionsAction:(id)sender {
    NSURL *googleURL = [[NSURL alloc]
        initWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"comgooglemaps://?daddr=%@", @"44.294349,-70.326973"]];

    NSURL *googleWebURL =
        [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.maps.google.com/maps?daddr=%@",
                                                                 @"44.294349,-70.326973"]];

    NSURL *appleURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=311+East+Buckfield+Road+Buckfield+Maine"];

    NSURL *wazeURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"waze://?ll=44.294349,-70.326973&navigate=yes"];

    // Lets try the Waze app first, cuz we like that one the most
    if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:wazeURL]) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:wazeURL
                                           options:@{}
                                 completionHandler:^(BOOL success){
                                 }];
        return;
    }

    // Lets try the Apple Maps app second (great success rate)
    if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:appleURL]) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:appleURL
                                           options:@{}
                                 completionHandler:^(BOOL success){
                                 }];
        return;
    }
    // If those 2 are unsuccessful, let's try the Google Maps app
    if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:googleURL]) {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:googleURL
                                           options:@{}
                                 completionHandler:^(BOOL success){
                                 }];
        return;
    }
    // Uh, oh...Well, then lets launch it from the web then.
    else {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:googleWebURL
                                           options:@{}
                                 completionHandler:^(BOOL success){

                                 }];
    }
}
