Yes, I'm getting some good results too. I also found out that you can get a Bitmap of the MapView by do the following
1) Create a Bitmap 2) Construct a Canvas with Bitmap as an input argument 3) call something like mMapView.draw(canvas) and it will draw the view to the canvas instead of to the screen. I noticed the Canvas constructor can also use a GL context. So does that mean the MapView will render directly to the framebuffer? Perhaps there is an easy way to render the MapView to the famous Utah Teapot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_teapot If anyone knows how to accomplish this I would be very impressed.
