Matter of fact if you use Android BT v1.5 I beleive you are required to use google api 2.2 I could be mistaken. I'm sure others will pop in and voice an opinion...

You'll need the Google Maps Libraries installed even if you don't use any map screens. You can get around this but it's easier to just download them so Eclipse + Google play nicely. I'm not sure you will get all the functionality of the device and Buzztouch if you use something earlier...
