Users of Google Map in Morocco do not see the border with Western Sahara and the territory name "western sahara" does not appear on any Google Map devices for these users. This is standard on Google Map you open on a device in Morocco.
I try to find a Google MAP API or library to use to have exact same behavior than above.
I have not found anything on Google Map help documents or stackoverflow.
(Same in many countries with disputed territories like Korea with Japan Sea etc)
Many thanks!

Assuming you are using the JS API, you can use Region localization in your call to the Maps JavaScript API to show the map without the Western Sahara frontier, by setting the Region code to MA (for Morocco):
You can read more about Region and Language localization on the Localization page:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/localization
You can use the Localization Demo on that page to show the difference in the map by setting different Region codes:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/localization#localization-demo
(the map demo centers on Poland, but you can drag the map to show western Sahara after changing the Language or Region drop-downs)
Also in the future please include enough information (like a working reproducible sample) so that other people will be able to understand you better and reproduce your issue.

Is it possible to embed a GoogleEarth view inside a Java Swing app? If so, could you please point me to a tutorial explaining how to do it?
There's also NASA's World Wind SDK.
Embedding GoogleEarth inside Java Swing App is not feasible. Legally or otherwise. However you may find a way to embed Google Map on a frame.
Edit: Found this google post.
Even though technically it is possible (using JXMapViewer), legaly it is not. Google does not allow using Google Maps outside of the browser.
One possible solution would be to embed JWebPane (http://weblogs.java.net/blog/alex2d/archive/JWebPaneJ1.pdf) into your Swing App, but it is still not ready :(
I did a project on vehicle tracking system using GPS and GSM at my college.
In the project we used to get the latitude and longitude value of vehicle and show it in Google map.
The code we used for creating a frame with Google location is Map code.java
The frame is created by creating an Object of the class and calling the method
createmap(String x,String y);
Where, x-latitude and y-longitude.
I just discovered a link on java.net ...
Building Maps into Your Swing Application with the JXMapViewer
Here's a lil' tutorial which explains it all:
http://www.brantb.com/2007/12/java-and-google-earth-com-api.html
It uses the Google Earth COM API
You can use Jawin to extract native stubs and use it to embed Google Earth on a Java Swing container. I've worked on it before, please check my demo video on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pf8V8uubVM
As WTP'-- pointed out to the Blog, http://www.brantb.com/2007/12/java-and-google-earth-com-api.html Brant used "com4J" to generate the stubs.
you could us a java RDP client and run Google Earth on a remote desktop

We have developed a Droid Tablet GPS App which utilizes Google Maps. One of our users reports that sometimes the maps show partially blurry:
They are using a wireless connection. And this is an application used in a vehicle (i.e. so the maps update and pan as user moves around).
Does this happen because Google first renders low resolution images and then updates them with high res images? And in this case the connection could have been lost before the high resolution images loaded?
Is there any way to prevent this?
NOTE: please before someone tags this as "Not programming related" listen to me. I am posting here because on the relevant Google Groups the moderator is encouraging people to post to StackOver flow using this tag. (Read More).
No, AFAIK there's no way to prevent this on the client side. It's just how Google Maps works.

When using Google Maps JavaScript API, the satellite view and roadmap view for Google Maps do not line up. There seems to be a shift from one to the other; that is, where it shows a road in the satellite view, the same road is shifted a bit to the right in the roadmap view.
The same is true when using Google Maps straight from maps.google.com. Is there a programmatic fix for this issue? This doesn't seem to be a problem for U.S. maps, just China.

I have a problem with my site Guesstheflag.com. The site is based on a game in which people need to guess which flags belong to which countries. The site uses Google Maps to show the countries on a map.
I bought the site two years ago from someone who developed the game. Unfortunately I am not a developer and I have little knowledge of building websites. All went well the past two years and I never had problems, but since a few days if you go to the site you get a white screen in the game screen (in all browsers). I can't reach the developer of the game and I tried to find a solution myself but I don't know what I'm doing exactly so that's quite hard. ;)
Has there been a recent change in the Google Maps API (I couldn't find that) and is there a simple solution? If not, is there someone here who could help me fix the problem for a small fee?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, the Google Maps JavaScript API just advanced a minor version increment to 3.9changelog and the default version advanced from 3.6 to 3.7. A few others have run into problems. Info about which version you should use is available in the Versioning section of the Developer's Guide.
The Google Maps JavaScript API v3 docs to start with are:
The FAQ
The Developer's Guide
The API Reference Doc
The Example Code Samples

I'm trying to find out which rules govern user-added content in google maps.
I'd like to know if I can store certain placemarks from google maps on my server and on the client(the latter for the sake of caching).
I have been reading through Google maps terms but could not find a direct answer to this question.
Is this what you're looking for?
You must not...
10.3 pre-fetch, cache, or store any Content, except that you may store
limited amounts of Content for the
purpose of improving the performance
of your Maps API Implementation if you
do so temporarily, securely, and in a
manner that does not permit use of the
Content outside of the Service;
Of course, if your own users are adding the content, it should be fine.
