Thanks Flexa.
The map isn't actually persistently on the stage, it's on a page
(seperate DisplayObjectContainer) that gets added and removed from my
main app. So are you saying that once one Google map has been added,
it's not possible to remove it by removing the Map Object from the
displayList and then creating another?
Thanks also for the suggestion of the workaround, i'll give it a go.
