Good question! The reason for using the MapView is that I'm mapping my overlays to actual positions on the map. But I don't want to show the map's visual information. Using a RelativeLayout and doing the overlaying myself would force my to do all the calculations that the mapsystem now does for me. Any further suggestions?
