title: iOS and Maps: How to intercept a touch gesture, get the coordinates and retrieve the country name
body: <p>I am developing a game in which the user has to select a country on a world map.</p>
  
  <p>I was thus wondering:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>what's the best approach to show an interactive map? I found this framework/component on the Web <a href="http://mousebird.github.com/WhirlyGlobe/" rel="nofollow">http://mousebird.github.com/WhirlyGlobe/</a> but I am also evaluating MapKit, MapBox and Google Maps frameworks. In your opinion and from your own experience, what would be the best choice?</p></li>
  <li><p>Given some GPS coordinates, how can I retrieve the country name? (I'm interested only in the country name, nothing more)</p></li>
  <li><p>Is there any sample code or tutorial in which such an application is implemented?</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
