Map Integration in ios6

How can I integrate maps in iOS 6. Will it be supported in earlier iOS versions?

I want to display a map in an app which has to support iOS 5 and newer. How could I do this? In the earlier versions iOS uses Google Maps and in the latest version it uses its own map.

Will anybody help me out?

There are some differences on the versions of the framework for iOS 6 and for below iOS 6. I've noticed that the offset value of the annotations is different from

For all I've seen MapKit is essentially the same. Under iOS 5 the default map provider will be Google, under iOS 6 it will be Apple. If you specify a custom map provider that will be used in either. Just be sure to test properly in iOS 5.0, 5.1 & 6.

I don't think there ever was a Google Maps API kit.

Every time a map from Google showed up in an iPhone app, it was through the iOS MapKit API. I think Google was only the maps provider. What they did in iOS 6 was changing their map provider for themselves. So I think upgrading to MapKit in iOS 6 will just require a little maintenance, and not a full rewrite. I'm guessing most of it will run fine on iOS 5.

Note : this is just my own guess, I haven't looked into developing for iOS 6 yet.
