Google does not render maps on the device but gets the bitmaps from the server.
Honestly speaking, I don't see any reason to do your own map application unless you are going to make a turn-by-turn navigation. But navigation is a very complicated task you cannot handle alone, especially when you have no idea about what are you doing. You better to do a search on Google "Android offline maps" and you will find maps applications as well as navigation solutions and some open projects too.
