Assuming that you are looking for routing, you need to fetch the routes from a routing server. Check Google directions API. CloudMade also has routing api. I don't think MapKit provides a way to fetch routes and find shortest distance.

If you are looking for straight line distance use:

CLLocation *aLocation = …
CLLocation *differentLocation = …
[aLocation distanceFromLocation:differentLocation];

For route mapping, I'm pretty sure the best option is still to fire up the maps application appropriately parameterised....
