Its a view with a sample map app for testing. The app doesn't really
do anything other than show the view.

'Homebrew' apps are written in the same way as official apps. They use
all the same libraries and everything. It should be possible to build
+install any app for the iphone if you have the source code and your
iphone is jailbroken (or you have a developer key).
