There are two causes I know of for a map to stay in gridline mode: -- The apiKey is not actually in there properly (hint: if it has colons, that's not the API key) -- The emulator or device does not have Internet access, such as lacking the INTERNET permission in the project -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.3 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
