I am using Xamarin and have tried many Google Map examples. The map is not displaying on any of the emulators.
My question is this: Can a Google Map be displayed on an emulator, or can it only be displayed on a real device?
You cannot use Google Maps in an emulator because it works only in a real device, you have the option to debug directly in a mobile or tablet to show it, or paste your apk and install it later in order to test it.
I guess this is your answer.
Bye
When it comes to Maps v2, you are better off using a device than the emulator.
That said, you can use the emulator. Google Maps is only supported on emulators that are running an AVD that is running the most recent Google API. See comment 29 in bug 57880.

I am planning to integrate google map feature for my Hybrid Mobile Application.
This is targeted for Android,iOS and Windows.
https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps
Above cordova plugin only works for iOS and Android, what about windows phone ? Do I need to use deparate Javascript Web API's of google maps to integrate with Windows phone ?
Since I didn't build this yet before, what can I provide you is some tutorials and different threads.
Like the answer in this thread, what you want to achieve is technically possible, but it is not legal. So basically you need a 3rd party app for these to work.
You can use Bing Map Control to use Google Maps in Windows. This tutorial explains everything with sample code and screenshot for you to follow.

Windows Phone Doesn't Support Google Maps Because Google Doesn't Want It To

I am trying to develop an app that access HERE map through its API to get the direction route using transit (not drive or walking) on WP8.1. When I go to HERE developer website, I didn't see the mobile SDK for windows phone. Is HERE maps API still support for WP8.1? Why can't I see HERE maps and its other apps (HERE drive+, HERE transit) in windows phone app store now? Has anyone tried HERE API in WP8.1 before?
The reason I want to use HERE maps API because the native WP8.1 map API does not return route in transit mode.
Thanks.
It was available 4-5 years ago but not anymore.
I am using Wikitude SDK for augmented reality. It works ok.
Google Maps SDK for iOS work fine.
Problem is when I turn on Wikitude SDK and then I try using Google Maps SKD.
On Console I receive information:
"Did not clear context upon block exist"
On second try Google Maps doesn't render a map.
What should I do to fix this problem. Mapkit doesn't have this problem but my boss wants to use Google Maps SDK. I don't want to write a app with single ViewController.
I searched Google for phrase "Did not clear context upon block exist" but I didn't find anything.
Edit:
I am using iOS 7 SDK with Xcode 5. Wikitude draw point on camera. On Google Maps SDK I just insert markers on map. Nothing special. Everything works fine just one thing trigger something another as programmer I know I am in deep trouble. I don't know what is happening inside this SDKs.
I am also using container views to separate map and my view with buttons .
Google Maps iOS API version 6.1 resolved that bug.
I should thank Google developers for fix and Wikitude developers for help on forum.

Recently Google released a new version of their Google Maps which lets you save an offline version of a particular chunk of the map. At the same time I've been playing around with making an Android app which uses the Google Maps API, and I was just wondering... is it possible in some way to get that offline map and get my application to use it? So that my application doesn't need an internet connection either?
I'm aware that OpenStreetMap is an alternative but I don't think it'll work with the project I have in mind.
Cheers
that may be a violation of Google's Terms of Service.
Have a look at this: How to cache Google map tiles for offline usage?
My application is developed with maps and some other listviews.
When i removed
<uses-library android:name="com.google.android.maps" />
from manifest file the app is working fine, but when i add this in manifest, i am getting
Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY

You should use an Android Build with Google APIs. Right click your project > Properties > Android, select an item that has "Google APIs" in the target name. Be sure to select the version you need.
Google Maps require the Android Library that contains Google APIs. So if your using Android SDK 2.3... then you should choose "Google APIs 2.3".
If you can't find one then you should download it using your Android SDK Manager.
Select whichever version you need:
you should check your AVD is its simple or Google API
because Google MAP works only in Google API.
