Answer 1

Have you tried Custom URL Scheme to achieve this? As per the documentation, you can set Native app URL string to call Maps from your app. Something like the below:

-(IBAction)mapLinkTapped:(id)sender {

    NSString *mapURL = @"http://maps.apple.com/?q=cupertino";
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:mapURL];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

}

This opens the default Maps app on your device. If that isn't available, then this goes into a browser and opens the map.

For more info on passing parameters, please refer this documention .
