How do add a map with points on it on it?

How do I add a map to my app of a city and then have pins on it where if the user touches it a button will appear (Like the standard iOS Maps App) and when the user touches the button it takes them to the standard iOS Maps app where it will give directions to that point from their current position? (still a beginner) language- swift

This is not really a beginner task! You'll want to get to know your way around swift or objective-c through one of the iOS development tracks here on Treehouse. Once you're ready, look for some tutorials on MapKit. Here's an example to get you started (and to scare you off from trying to tackle it right away! :).
