The application Google Maps does work on the Cius. Also, if you are talking about the API's they work as well. Just use the Android 2.2 Google API Add-on to be able to access them.

It actually works on both the device and the emulator assuming that you are using Android 2.2 Google API Add-on. It even comes with a sample that you can test. If you are attempting to you both the Google API's and our Cisco API's take a look here. It is a blog post detailing how to use both API's together.

One other note is that when you run the sample that is provided it is missing a Map Key that needs to be generated by Google. One way to know that you are missing this is if you run the application and all you see is a grey grid. I would recommend that you go here and and follow those directions. Then take the key that you are provided with and place it in the mapview.xml where is says apiKey. This will make the map actually appear.
