I've seen this error on a new app I created as well... the original app I created does not have this error, it was during compiling right? Dunno what to say yet. Dave should see this post soon.

Was there a solution to this, I am having the same problem with my maps doing the same thing... I am not sure about this guy asking the question in spanish but when i try and open a map from the app I am getting an error: Maps not configured properly. See: showLocationMap() method in src/Act_ActivityBase.java

Maps are tougher on the Android than on the iPhone - sucks. a) Make sure you have two Google Maps api keys. The README.txt file with the source code has a URL to get these. b) Enter these in the strings.xml file in your Android Project c) Make sure you have the Google Maps API plug-in installed in Eclipse. It does work, thousands are using it... just takes some basic understanding of compiling with Google's API keys for each app. Bummer that each app needs it's own key, unlike iPhone where one set of keys works with many app instances ;-) Most folks get stuck because they did not download the Google Maps API stuff in their Eclipse dev. environment. It DOES NOT COME WITH THE Android SDK, you have to get it separately.

Ahh that would probably help. The help is always appreciated and for any one else that is having the same problem you can get the plug in here http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/download.html
