I use maps in the browser widget extensively for Augmented Earth. It works great.
You could hypothetically export the image data from the HTML canvas object, export the lat/lng boundaries, and present all of that through a LiveCode image object. Be prepared to do a bit of math, but I think it would work. Many of the map apis allow you to put both markers and polygons on a map with JavaScript, which might give you better performance.
