A solid solution is to create a view controller with a NIB that includes a UIWebView, and then pass the URL that exercises Google's map / direction services. This way, you keep the user in the application. This approach is not sufficient when pulling up a web page, because the Apple kit doesn't support zooming. But with OS4, at least the user can double click the home button and switch back to the app.
