Question

How can I use Apple map for getting direction between two places?
I can provide the latitude and longitude of that two places?
Is it possible to show the direction in my app itself?
or Should I need to show the direction in the in built Map app of apple’s iPhone?

You can send user to navigation app in iOS6 or google maps prior to iOS6.

Here’s a sample code:

        Class itemClass = [MKMapItem class];
        if (itemClass && [itemClass respondsToSelector:@selector(openMapsWithItems:launchOptions:)]) {
            // iOS 6 MKMapItem available
            MKPlacemark* place = [[MKPlacemark alloc] initWithCoordinate:_targetLocation addressDictionary:nil];
            MKMapItem* destination = [[MKMapItem alloc] initWithPlacemark:place];
            destination.name = @"Name Here!";
            NSArray* items = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: destination, nil];
            NSDictionary* options = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                     MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeDriving,
                                     MKLaunchOptionsDirectionsModeKey, nil];
            [MKMapItem openMapsWithItems:items launchOptions:options];
        } else {
            // Pre-iOS 6
            CLLocationCoordinate2D coords = _lastLocation.coordinate;

            NSString *stringURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%g,%g&daddr=%g,%g", coords.latitude, coords.longitude, _targetLocation.latitude, _targetLocation.longitude];
            NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
            [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
        }
