With the iPhone more than earning its place in the consumer market, it is now being adopted by enterprises. This session will present best practices for getting the most out of the MapKit framework within your iPhone application.

According to Ernest Svehla, "I will include a quick review of key components then present best practices for displaying map customizations and annotations specific to your application needs."
