Open the Apple Maps iOS6 app from a link in UIWebView

If I show a map link on a web page

<a href="http://maps.apple.com/?q=Pricketts+Hill+Southampton+Hampshire+SO32+2JW&ll=50.913127,-1.191398">Location</a>

it opens its own Apple Maps iOS6 app when clicked in the standard iPhone Safari browser. When I display the same webpage in a UIWebView inside my application, and then click the link, my delegation method

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {

and parameters

url=http://maps.apple.com/?q=Pricketts+Hill+Southampton+Hampshire+SO32+2JW&ll=50.913127,-1.191398
navigationType=UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked

If the delegate method returns YESto indicate that the UIWebView should go ahead and open the link, a new delegate call is invoked immediately, and this time the parameters

url=http://maps.google.com/?q=Pricketts+Hill+Southampton+Hampshire+SO32+2JW&ll=50.913127,-1.191398 
navigationType=UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked
