GPS Navigation in iOS

I am developing an iPhone application. I have used mapkit to show the locations for user to select as source and destination. User also have option to see routes between source and destination. I need to implement the turn by turn navigation. I am using google maps. Is there any other way or any 3rd party library, by which I can implement turn by turn navigation?

Please google around before asking questions. There are tons of good tutorials (both free and paid on how to use mapkit.

This is one of them : http://www.ioscreator.com/search?q=mapkit

for turn by turn using maps I have this code snippet layout around here for Apple Maps :

let address = "\(self.street!) \(self.zip!) \(self.city!) \(self.country!)"
let geoCoder = CLGeocoder()

geoCoder.geocodeAddressString(address, completionHandler:
    {(placemarks: [AnyObject]!, error : NSError!) in
        if error != nil {
            let errorAlert = UIAlertView(title: "Cannot locate address", message: "Geocode failed with error: \(error.localizedDescription)", delegate: self, cancelButtonTitle: "OK")
            errorAlert.show()
        }

        if placemarks.count > 0 {
            let placemark = placemarks[0] as! CLPlacemark
            let location = placemark.location

            println("\(location.coordinate.latitude) \(location.coordinate.longitude)")

            let coords = location.coordinate

            let place = MKPlacemark(coordinate: coords, addressDictionary: nil)
            let mapItem = MKMapItem (placemark: place)

            mapItem.name = locationName

            let options = [MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey: MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving, MKLaunchOptionsShowsTrafficKey: true]
            MKMapItem.openMapsWithItems([mapItem], launchOptions: options as [NSObject : AnyObject])

Google maps is pretty similar, and again very easy to find a well written tutorial online, this was my first hit using :

swift navigate google maps

as search keywords in google

PS I didn't downvote, but I understand why that person did it.
