Answer 1

Try the following.

Write a class which derives from the Overlay class and override the onTap() method. Then you can add your overlay to the your MapView. A GeoPoint object, which represents the position of you tap, is passed to the onTap() method when you tab somewhere on the map.

OR

The modern answer here, using Android Maps v2, is to use OnMapClickListener, which gives you the LatLng of a tap on the map.
