That's built-in to the Mail app in iOS. If you send yourself http://maps.google.com/maps?q=London in an email, and open it on an iOS device it will automatically link it to the Maps app. If you want to link to the Maps app from a different app see this link How can I launch the Google Maps iPhone application from within my own native application?

You can do something like putting a hyper link inside the message body of the email, and setting the isHTML property to YES when making the message body of your MFMailComposeViewController.

Try looking into the MFMessageComposeViewController and MFMailComposeViewController classes. MFMessageComposeViewController has the body property while MFMailComposeViewController has the setMessageBody:isHTML: method.

After you implement these modal view controller you can easily take http://maps.google.com/maps?q=London set the respective property/use the respective method to fill the message/email body with your maps link along with any other text you want to add.
