A first implementation of a MKMapView to display coordinates included in a Wikipedia article

At this stage the implementation catches taps onto geohack extension links, launches a MapViewController and passes the geohack URL on to the MVC.

The MapViewController parses the URL, gathers coordinates and title and displays a native iOS map with an annotation (“pin”) representing the article in question. The map style can be toggled by tapping the gear. Tapping the “Share”-Button opens the geohack page in MobileSafari.

Next steps: use geo api JSON call to retrieve coordinates already while loading article, add map icon to bottom toolbar in main article view if coordinates associated with article can be retrieved.
