How do i open Google Maps for directions using coordinates on the iphone

Question

On the iPhone, I'm using UIMapView to show locations. I want to get instructions from my current location to the place I'm interested in, but I don't think MapKit can do that (if it does, please let me know). Instead, I'll open either the Google Maps app or Safari to view it.

I have these longitudes and latitudes. Can I do this by supplying coordinates from (current location) to (the site of interest)? Or must I use street addresses instead?

Can I acquire street addresses from latitude and longitude if I do need to use them?

There is a chance. Employ MKMapView Using the two coordinates, request the KML file from the Google web service, parse the KML file (using the example app KML reader on the developer site), and then display the routes.
