Using geo location Google maps api v2

I have added a map fragment to my app including a geographic marker and included my play services jar but I'm getting the following error on my marker code:

Error: Cannot cast from Fragment to SupportMapFragment

The snippet is as follows:

GoogleMap mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
        mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                .position(new LatLng(53.271900177, -9.04889965057))
                .title("GMI alway Location"));;

This is my xml declaration to reference it:

<fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />

Anyone have any ideas as to where I'm going wrong? Thanks Brian J

You have to use the SupportFragmentManager and the FragmentActivity classes if you are using the SupportMapFragment in your layout.

So use the getSupportFragmentManager() method instead of getFragmentManager().
