You might have forgotten to update your Android Maps V2 API key

If you notice your logcat rapidly filling up with Failed to load map. Could not contact Google servers, you might have forgotten to update your Android Maps V2 key in AndroidManifest.xml.


<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY" android:value="your_maps_key"/>

The maps object gets quite angry, but remains sadly inarticulate when this happens. Just sayin.
