I understand from this post that MapView is now supported in Android as well as iOS (the post mentions that the documentation is being updated, which I assume also includes an update of this page).
I’m wondering - does Corona support MapView Overlays, including custom overlays?

Would love to have this feature added.
Hi Tom, @Falcon77,
Although I’m not sure the exact “form” that it will take, there should be some augmented reality features available in the Graphics 2.0 (OpenGL 2.0 ES) coming to Corona in the next few months… meaning, placing things over native display objects like maps. I’d offer more details if I knew them, but the new graphics engine is still in the works.
Best regards,
Brent

Could you confirm that no regular display object can be shown on top of this native display object, mapView? I.e. that the information on this page (link below) is still accurate. What I want to do is show a text on top of the mapView, but no matter if I do self.view:insert() or myMap:insert() or skip the insert entirely, it always ends up behind the mapView. http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/native/newMapView.html
