I'm planning to make an application like google maps only to a city in my country.
I want to use XNA WP7, but I get a lot of problems here
Is it possible that I detect a road just by detecting colors on the map that I created?
or I must draw the line functions in XNA? and declare each point of the road?
second, whether I can control the image in XNA? how?
How do I get the position coordinate / pixel in the image rather than on the screen?
please give me an opinion, or give me a tutorial that relates to my project ..
Do you want to use Google Maps in particular, or can you use Bing Maps? If you can use Bing Maps, then there's a built in control that handles a lot of the hard work for you. You can download sample code on how to use the Bing Map control from here.

Is it possible to store multiple small images or icons as parts of a single image, so that my webpage can get all the icons it needs from a single GET request. This would help my page load faster.
This is an example of the sort of composite image I'm referring to:

It seems to me that it is some kind of array of images put into one file. I'm hoping there is some way that i can use each individual icon in the image in a project.
These are called sprite sheets, there's a great article about them on css-tricks that should help you understand how they work on the web.

I want to digitise some places of my city in ArcGIS. I found ArcGIS 'World Imagery' layer which I can use it as a basemap for digitisation. But the problem is it works only while the internet is connected. Is there anyway to save the cache of the layer at a particular zoom level so that I can work on it offline even after I restart the computer.
If no, please tell me any other way- may be with google or bing imagery, I need to digitise important features of the city. So i require resolution at house level.
A quick and dirty way would be to take a screen shot, save it, add it as data, then georeference it with the "Georeferencing" toolbar. I'm not sure how to save a cache or how much memory that might take. If you are working at a fixed scale and can find the imagery you need (like google or bing), then take a screenshot or maybe use a program like Snagit (if you have it) to capture the extent you want at the best resolution.

You can use the Google Places API. One of the parameters passed to the API server is the location in latitude and longitude coordinates. The result data can be returned in either JSON or XML format.

how can i create custom interfaces in xcode 4? i've seen programs like Kaleidoscope (http://designshack.co.uk/images/designs/kaleidoscope-for-mac.jpg) using custom controls or something not available for drag and drop on xode.
any help? thanks
You'll get better help if you take the time to craft more specific questions.
Since you're speaking generally, I'll answer generally: Xcode 4 will not help you create custom interfaces (at least not beyond letting you edit the code to build them). This is done entirely in code.
Learn to draw with Cocoa then learn how controls and cells work, then ask specific questions when you don't understand.

I am looking for a book that discusses about how to write a GUI libray.
Don't bother reinventing the wheel. It will probably end up being a square one.
Rather use widget APIs like Gtk+ or Qt. Both APIs allows you to create widgets which are drawn with OpenGL-enabled 'painters'. That means that you can use Qt and Gtk widgets just like usual, only within an OpenGL context. The whole process is completely transparent after the initial boilerplate code.
In terms of design you might want to look at the design patterns book. This uses the design of a Windowing system for many examples.
You might also want to refer to other OpenGL GUI libraries, e.g.
What is the best free cross-platform OpenGL GUI library for a video game?
