How to draw an overlay on the mapview?
A:
See a discussion on MacRumors. Brief version: use iphone-google-maps-component as a way around not being able to overlay on the mapview.
Basically iphone-google-maps-component is:
A component that you can add to your iPhone application to access all basic features of Google Maps (similar to Android's MapView). It uses a UIWebView in the background to load the HTML/Javascript version of Google Maps, and offers a set of Objective-C methods that mimic a subset of the original Javascript methods for controlling the map. It currently supports setting the center location and zooming & panning using the touch interface. You can see it in action
