iOS Maps Frameworks
Google Maps SDK for iOS
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/
New to the market. Good choice if you wanted to do Android development (Google Maps SDK for Android).
Requires API key. API keys are not readily available. Submitted application for API key. Response can be found at:

Apple MapKit
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/MapKit/Reference/MapKit_Framework_Reference/_index.html
Made by Apple. Probably best choice for long-term support. Used to use Google Maps service prior to iOS6, but now uses custom Apple Maps + TomTom.
I created a sample app with MapKit

BA3 Mapping Engine
http://www.ba3.us/mapkit/
Commerical alternative that has a free licensing option (if you give away the app for free, you can use the SDK). Has nifty featuers like offline support.
===
MapBox
http://mapbox.com/mobile/
Commercial alternative. $5/month
Has nifty features.

ArcGIS
http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/smartphones/develop
Commerical alternative. $$$

Route-me
https://github.com/route-me/route-me
Open source alternative. Works with multiple map sources. May even brew your coffee.
