Answer 1

No, you cannot use MapKit for driving directions. It does not support this.

However, you could improvise a transparent view on top of MapKit and draw something, but nothing native to MapKit.

EDIT: Here is a sample of drawing routes yourself:

You should try Kishikawa Katsumi's project MapKit-Route-Directions is really well made and useful. You can find the sample project at github https://github.com/kishikawakatsumi/MapKit-Route-Directions.git

You can add to your view UIWebView. Than load to UIWebView something like this
