title: Draw Text on Google Map no longer possible?
body: <p>I'm upgrading an Android application from version 1 to version 2 of the android google maps API. In my version 1 code, I was able to draw text directly on the map in my subclass of ItemizedOverlay by overriding the draw() method, as follows. The text I want to draw is dynamic, an additional text item that I want to display next to each map marker, so the text will be added/removed frequently as different symbols are plotted / removed.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@Override
  public boolean draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow,
          long when) {
      if (!shadow) {              
              canvas.drawText("some text", (float) point.x + TextOffsetX , (float) point.y + TextOffsetY, m_paint);
       }
  
  
      return super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow, when);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, this doesn't seem possible in the version 2 of the API. THere's isn't really a concept of ItemizedOverlays and nothing can be subclassed. Is there some way I can draw text on the GoogleMap in the new API version?</p>
