I am having an issue with my app, soley on the Moto DEXT. I have tried to reproduce on my Hero and the 1.5 emulator with no luck.

The exception (see logcat snippet below) seems to be coming from within the system code, so I may be out of luck.

Rough jist is, user presses the button, new MapActivity loads, they see the grid start then get a force close. On loading the MapActivity loads up a customised MyLocationOverly (very little changed, mostly a kludge to allow a map click to be caught).

Has anyone else experienced anything similar, and can point out if I am going wrong.

    This is a known issue on Motorola DEXT/CLIQ phones.

    Answer can be found here: http://community.developer.motorola.com/t5/Android-App-Development-for/Google-Maps/m-p/3421/highlight/true#M396

    You have to overload the default draw, catching the exception and then drawing your own icon.
