Google map on UIWebView

It seems to be common problem in getting map to display fast and well on UIWebView.

Any javascript running in the UIWebView will be terminated after 5 sec. Calling Google map API directly to display the entire map or any attempt to zoom and pan around will be slow, even on 3G network.

A good approach will be using static map image, or preload map images on web server.
