How to increase performance on google map for Android

I wonder if we can get the same behavior and performance in own Andorid app with Google map? If you are using SDK (native development) the performance is diff to what you can experience while using last Google map from Android market. Are there any tips on it? I really like this smooth maps display while scroll up\down and labeling of street names, etc.

No you cannot get same performance while displaying maps in your own application. There are a couple of reasons for it:

  1. Firstly, the code that google uses is different and they are google if you know what I mean.
  2. Your application uses google play services while google maps by google doesnot.

Probably not. The Google Maps application does not use the same code base as does the Google Maps add-on for Android.

@Urban's point is very valid -- the more stuff you do in overlays, the slower things will be. An ItemizedOverlay with 100+ points, for example, will definitely be felt.

But if you create an app using the Google Maps add-on without any overlays, the experience you see there is as fast as you are going to get. Overlays of any sort will only make things slower.
