Adding Google Maps Layer
It turns out that every individual instance of posit that is compiled requires its own api key. This is generated by the following command:
$ keytool -list -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore
And signing up for the google maps service at this link:
http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html
This process will generate the needed key that should then replace the following line in the file, map_main.xml under the res/layout directory:
android:apiKey="SOME-KEY" />
replace with
android:apiKey="YOUR-GENERATED-KEY" />
