Since you are using normal web-based Google Maps in a UIWebView and not UIMapKit you approach this as any other Google Maps implementation using JavaScript.

The way this is done is by defining a custom map tile layer. See the Google Maps API documentation for custom tiles for more information.

Note that beside the actual programming, you need to have (and the rights to use) the actual map tiles as well.
