overlay of shapefile on iOS apple maps (mapkit)

Question

We have a mapping application currently in the app store (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/atlanta-fire/id825146524?ls=1&mt=8) and now we would like to add one or two overlays (the city limits, county limits, etc).

I have this GIS data available as a shape file and can also export as a pdf, png, svg, mbtiles and as a MapNik XML.

I do not want to override the native apple map (such as with Open Streets or MapBox), but just need to incorporate the shape file info.

Suggested strategies?

I've been working on something similar. There is a Shapefile C Library that I found here:

Also there is a sample project that incorporates this into Mapkit here:
