The problem is that your MapVis class is likely extending com.google.android.maps.MapActivity. For the system to be able to find this class you need to do two things:

Then select one of the "Google APIs" as appropriate for you app. You can confirm that maps.jar is on your build path by checking:

Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Expand "Google Apis"

Second browse to your manifest file and make sure you have the uses-library snippet nested within the tags as follows:
