Display Black&White MapKit

I'm working on an app with a MapKit map, which I want to display as Black&White, rather than the default color scheme.

How do I do that?

Is there a method I can set the color scheme with?
Are there specific constants I can set for the color scheme?
Is there a combination of masking the MapKit view with some image that applies an effect of Black&White?

Thanks,
Nur

To expand on some of the answers:

You cannot set MapKit to black and white. It violates the terms of use.

Your best bet is you use route-me with an offline tileSource. Google TileMill. They allow you to create your own maps from shape files which you can download off different sites. You then use route-me to display the maps you created.

You can use route-me instead of UIMapView and select the desired mapsource that suits you.

There's no way to change the colour of the map in MKMapView. The only thing you can change really is the mapType property which defines if it's a standard map, satellite or hybrid.

I doubt you'd be able to easily do anything with an overlay to make it B&W either. It might even be a violation of the terms of using the Google maps to do that anyway - I'm not sure on that, but it's possible it is.

So if you really need it B&W then I suggest using something other than the standard MKMapView.
