I may be restating some of the items in this post, but here are the steps I went through that got it all working in Windows / XP. Hope it helps out somebody else! 1) When you're running an Android app via the SDK, it considers that the app was installed using the default keystore file which is in C:\Documents and Settings\myWindowsId\.android\debug.keystore The password for this keystore file is: android 2) Using keytool on that keystore file (password android, which you'll be propted for) I got the MD5 value corresponding to that keystore file. 3) I then used the Google Maps signup site (http://code.google.com/android/maps-api-signup.html) to generate the value you need to have in the map widget entry: android:apiKey 4) When you run the SDK, the map will show because you now have a specified an apiKey which is registered with Google which was generated from the keystore file the app is running with. That's the requirement in order for the map to show. If the android:apiKey value is generated from the MD5 value for the keystore your app is running with, you'll get a grid of squares instead of an actual map.
