I want to draw the map of United States with all its states and state boundaries, Please help
Just like the image below
Use SVG file parsing for it
FSInteractiveMap is a charting library to visualize and interact with a vector map on iOS. It's like Geochart but for iOS!

Is there a way to generate heat maps by zip code using Power Maps for Excel. I have build it using region and it does appear to have a heat map scaling for the color range. However the difference in the color range being used it not noticeable. So maybe I just need a way to adjust the color range.
I tried using the heat map option but all the zip codes have a ring for all the colors even though there is only one value per zip code. Also the zip codes blendtogether and form you giant blob of red.
If there is a different free option you would recommend for doing this type of mapping I am open to suggestions. I previously used MapPoint but that is no longer an option.
You could change the look of your Power Map. You could also change the color for one or more data series.
Please refer to the following link:

I need to use a PNG as custom map of an indoor place. I don't need navigation but some places should be clickable like what we have in built in map. In android this is possible with MapView but I didn't find anything for iOS to do that. Can someone help me out how to start and do this?
A while back Apple added the ability to provide custom map overlay tiles. It isn't as simple as providing a PNG. You will need to create a database of map tiles at different scales, following a specific naming convention, and then provide a tiled map overlay.
I suggest looking at this blog post:
Custom and Offline Maps Using Overlay Tiles from VIGGIOSOFT
It goes into quite a bit of detail on what's required.
I am using highcharts map and would like to add point location on it using real coordinates. How can i do this in javascript any links? or any suggestions of customizable map that allows me to enter images as locations?
You can catch click event on the chart, then you get coordinates for particular point (x/y). Last step is using it in data.
Example: http://www.highcharts.com/maps/demo/mapline-mappoint
Another way to approach this would be to import the GeoJSON file ("fr-all-mainland.geo.json") in a compatible editor (for example QGIS) and plot the cities there, then inverting the y-coordinate. This would be similar to plotting the cities in Inkscape, except you would be working with the GeoJSON file instead of the SVG.

Is there any way to show only the pure map in ios? Without any text, label or annotation.
Sample iOS Map
For ex, in that picture there is a lot of texts, labels..
Somehow... From iOS7 you can provide your own tiles, but you lose map kit original tiles.
Mattt has written an interesting post on NSHipster, you should check it
Another option is to try the Mapbox tools to allow full map customization.
In an iOS application, I want to draw a United States map with states and counties outlined. I also want to draw individual states with counties outlined. I have researched using Shapefiles to do the drawing, but I can't find a good API that translates shapefiles. I have looked into ArcGIS, but it seems most of the drawing they do is web/server based, also without the ability to draw individual states, or outline counties.
Does anyone know of a good iOS API I can use to draw the following maps?
United States with states and counties outlined
Individual state with counties outlined
Take a look at MapBox, it will let you draw these types of maps, then you can pull them in as tiles and overlay them with MapKit.
They also have an iOS SDK, http://mapbox.com/mapbox-ios-sdk/ if you don't want to use MapKit.
I think ArcGIS for iOS is your answer here. The iOS API will allow you to add a MapView to your application.
You can add one or more geoservices to that MapView, as well as local graphic layers.
MapServices are rendered server-side. FeatureServices are rendered client-side. You can also take features (each county or state would be a feature) from the FeatureService and put them into the graphic layer to implement different effects such as selection, outlining...
If you want to have all data stored in the client (the device), then you can embed the json representation of the features and add them to the graphics layer in the MapView, without needing to connect to any geoservice (although geo applications work better when connecting to a server)

This sample looks similar to what you are looking for: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=417a0bf9dfda482c8110ebdbde3edd66

All good answers above. The solution that ended up working for me was to simply use an SVG image, drag it into PaintCode and PaintCode gives me all the code to draw the image. A very simple and elegant solution.
