open the maps app with coordinates in iOS5

In my app there is a contact us view that will have a button to open the company's address. So My code works fine in iOS6 and I know it should be different for iOS 5 but couldn't find the proper way to do it. Here is my code:

// Check for iOS 6
BOOL iOS6 = NO;

Class mapItemClass = [MKMapItem class];
if (mapItemClass && [mapItemClass respondsToSelector:@selector(openMapsWithItems:launchOptions:)])
    iOS6 = YES;

switch (buttonIndex) {
    case 0:

        if (iOS6) 
        {
         // Create an MKMapItem to pass to the Maps app
         CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate =
         CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(26.375561, 50.170305);
         MKPlacemark *placemark = [[MKPlacemark alloc] initWithCoordinate:coordinate
         addressDictionary:nil];
         MKMapItem *mapItem = [[MKMapItem alloc] initWithPlacemark:placemark];
         [mapItem setName:@"Industrial Projects Technologies"];
         // Pass the map item to the Maps app
         [mapItem openInMapsWithLaunchOptions:nil];
         }

        else
        {
            // Use the iOS 5 method
        }
        break;

Use this code for iOS5 for showing source to destination route

[[UIApplication sharedApplication]openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.apple.com/?daddr=%@,%@&saddr=%@,%@",latitudeOfDestinationLocation,longitudeOfDestinationLocation,latitudeOfSourceLocation,longitudeOfSourceLocation]]];

To show particular point in map

maps.google.com/?q=latitude,longitude

Example: maps.google.com/?q=26.375561,50.170305
