Yes...you read this post's title correctly. The iPhone SDK lacks the basic mapping API required by application developers hoping to tie the mobile experience to a geo-specific location. The only mapping function provided by the iPhone SDK is to send a URL to the iPhone's built-in Google map application and to let Google handle the rest.
I learned this while researching the iPhone SDK in comparison to the Android OS. I wanted to determine how difficult it would be to port Pocket Journey to the iPhone. As it turns out, the port could never happen as it couldn't for the majority of the apps submitted to the Android Challenge.
