While trying to run our application on an Android emulator or device, it might work without any problem. But it is important to note that as of March 3, 2013, Google deprecated the first version (v2) of their Google Maps API. In fact, Google will not issue any more v1 API keys, thus pushing developers to its new version (v2).

To address this, Titanium introduced a new native module called Modules.Map, which replaces the old Titanium.Map module for the Android platform. This module offers better performance, provides a lot of new features and the ability to add more than one map in our application (such a feat was not possible on Android with the previous version).
