How do I deliver Maps applications on mobile devices?
The Google Maps JavaScript API v3 has been developed to cater to mobile devices, and is suitable for browser applications targetted at both the desktop and devices that include a web browser with a full JavaScript implementation, such as the Apple iPhone. For browser based applications targetted at devices not suitable for using the JavaScript API, the Static Maps API delivers map images in GIF, JPG, and PNG formats, including markers and polylines. Note that it is not permitted to use the Static Maps API outside of browser based applications. To incorporate maps in an Android application, use the Android Maps External Library. To incorporate Maps in a native iPhone application, use the Apple iPhone Map Kit framework.
