    MapView is the native built-in class for doing Map related stuff. WebView is a native element for the browser. It has a javascript to Java bridge, so you can call Java methods in your native Android application from the JavaScript page.

    For my personal experience:

    • WebView is less flexible, kinda sluggish for UI interaction.
    • MapView has better optimizations and has richer content.
    • MapView has definitely better caching.
    • MapView loads faster (imo)
    • The MapView api’s make life much easier. Zooming/handling etc is great.

    Though if you are good at JavaScript and the V3 you should go for WebView. It all boils down to the feature set (WebView has a larger feature set, or so I’ve heard) that you want to use, your project duration (MapView is faster and easier to code for)
