Discussion
You use this method to pass the current map item to the Maps app. If your map item contains descriptive information about the location (such as a name or URL), the Maps app displays that information at the specified coordinate.
If you specify the MKLaunch option in the launch dictionary, the Maps app interprets that as an attempt to map from the user’s current location to the location specified by this map item.
If you do not include the MKLaunch and MKLaunch keys in your launch dictionary, Maps constructs a region around the current item. It uses that region to set the visible portion of the map.
