I try google maps in default web brouser on my Sony Ericsson Active (android 2.3.4), but I found that multitouch zooming doesn't work.
Is google maps api v3 support multitouch zooming or anybody know scripts for this.
UPDATE
I found next information: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/mobile/touch.html:
On the Android Gingerbread Browser (tested on Nexus One and Nexus S),
there is no multi-touch support. This is a known issue
(http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11909)
And this feature implemented in android 4.0 (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11909#c19).
Yes, the google maps api v3 supports multitouch. It's possible to see it on a iOS with the Safari. I think the browser is the problem on android devices. It does not send the touch events to the map, because it interprets the touch commands as webpage zoom. So it seems to be currently not possible to use multitouch with google map on androids default browser.

I have a RN app that uses react-native-maps. I was able to successfully render the Map in the Android and iOS Emulators, but when I build it out (using Expo), the app works but the Map renders as a Gray screen with the Google logo on the bottom left-hand corner.
I have an API key and have enabled all of the essential APIs in the
Google Developer Console.
I have only tested this on a physical Android device.
So,
What am I missing?
Should I consider using Mapbox instead?
EDIT:
I did not add anything to a build.gradle or anything of the sort from the Android Studio end; just front-end stuff. Is this required?
I face same problem of greyed map, when use LocationView of react-native-location-view. Greyed Map resolved by Enable Maps SDK for Android. Follow as shown in
Enable Maps SDK for Android in your developer console

I am building a hybrid mobile app using the ionic framework utilizing the google maps javascript api with geolocation. I followed the sample code from their site and the app runs fine when i run on the browser but when i test on my android device, the map loads perfectly but the geolocation does not work at all. Any help/tips?
i things you used ngCordova Plugins
its plugins used for getting current location of device [lat,lng] and its latlng to display in your map.
thanks and good luck.
I'm building a cross-platform HTML5 app which needs to contain a map. Google Maps and Nokia Here Maps work well on all other platforms, but Windows Phone's browser behaves oddly. The map can be moved around, but I need another finger on the screen for the panning to work with another one.
Can anyone give me a proper solution what maps should I use or how do I make Google Maps or Nokia Here Maps work? The only feature I need from the maps is that I need to put pins on it that open an overlay box when clicked.
I have links that go to Google Maps, but now since Apple updated to their own service my iPhone goes to the Google Maps website. Is there a way in HTML to show the Apple Maps link, when it's iOS6, and show the Google Maps link for all other devices. I am using ASP.NET MVC.
The solution is even easier than that and won't require any conditional statements:
When clicked from an iOS6 device, links to
maps.apple.com/maps?q=cupertino are opened in Apple's native
mapping application.
But on other mobile devices and computers, it redirects to Google
Maps (at maps.google.com/maps?q=cupertino) instead.
So at this point, all you need to do is include the Apple Maps link and it should work as expected on non-iOS devices.
I mentioned this in a recent post that also touches on whether the same parameters can be used.
I'm trying to port existing wp7 app to wp8 and there is problem with maps. Map is made from 6 tiles. Everything is working well, but pinching is terrible. Works much worse than on WP7.
Anything changed in WP8? What I have found is small information from microsoft presentation which says that in WP8 some things from pinch and strech were improved
Extends the ManipulationDeltaEventArgs class
PinchManipulation property
Provides center point for the original and current gesture
my 0.02$: On WP8 you should move from Bing Maps to using the new Nokia Maps control # http://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/Lumia/guide-to-the-maps.html
If you have just ported your app to WP8 from WP7 then everything should work as before. The only problem might be if you have hardcoded some display resolution values in your app, for computing the pinch gestures for example, and the app in now running on device with 720p display - it has height 853px instead of 800px.
Anyway as Justin noted you can switch to new Nokia maps in WP8, but you can still use Bing maps as well, although they are deprecated on WP8. You just have to reference new WP8 Bing maps library in folder:
