Most definitely use the JavaScript v3 API. To get started, read the applicable articles in the documentation. Specifically:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/android_v3.html http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/tutorial-iphone.html http://blogs.missouristate.edu/web/2010/05/12/google-maps-api-v3-developing-for-mobile-devices/ With geolocation, keep in mind that it takes time to get a position. Make sure you load your map and then get your geolocation position so you don't frustrate your users. To see an example (including the source code) of a map with the features you mentioned, see http://search.missouristate.edu/map/mobile/ You can find the related mobile apps in the Apple App Store and the Android Market by searching for "MSU Mobile".
