I read in the iPad mapkit is designed to use Mercator projection maps.
It is possible to use this interface with Lambert Conical Projection maps?
A:
The Mercator style used is the same as Google Maps, Bing Maps etc. and is currently the only one supported by mapKit. Lambert Conical Projection is not supported.

A:
If there is no way to get the images in a Mercator format (specifically the EPSG:3785 (3857 as of February) standard), you could try re-projecting the images on the fly. It's not too slow in my testing on a 3GS (Equirectangular to Mercator), but I'm losing some image quality (acceptable in my case).
