Hi Mark. I know google maps isn't open, but the same/similar api on the iphone allows for users to develop consistent apps, so the popup on pins in google maps look exactly the same in custom apps. The whole platform's closed there, but consistency is possible without having to reinvent the wheel.. :(
As to overiding onTap, that's working ok, but I want a speech bubble or similar for the user to get some information before then deciding to drill into the item. This is in fact what the maps online api lets you do, just odd that the one on android doesn't do it. Shame..
