Answer 1

Subclass UIWebView and implement:

-touchesBegan:withEvent:
-touchesMoved:withEvent:
-touhesEnded:withEvent:

Remember to call the super implementation at some point otherwise you'll lose the functionality of being able to interact with the webview itself.

Using the iPhone SDK 3.0 you can use the MKMapKit framework to embed a map in your application, and you can add custom annotations. Here's the MKMapView documentation.
