Answer 1

Google Maps API V2 is the native version of Google maps, while Google Maps API V3 is new API for web development, you could use the API V3 and embed it into a WebView, but if you want to achieve the best result you should use Google Maps API V2 for Android.

Here a blog guide I wrote on how to embed Google Maps API V2 in your application that you can use to get started:
