Answer 2

To display a custom map in MKMapView your custom map needs to be in Keyhole Markup Language (KML). KML is a file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Maps for mobile. The file can include custom images and annotations.

• KML Documentation Introduction
• Google Earth
• KML Tutorial I would follow this tutorial before working on your app. It will give you a better overview of what is possible.
• iOS sample code KMLViewer
