  That's correct, you can have only one instance of the map view. If you've closed the first window that contained the map view and it's not properly releasing it, there is an undocumented fix to allow you to release that (now unwanted) map view so that you can create another one in the new window. Call onDestroy() on the map view. E.g. …

  var mapview =Ti.Map.createView(...);
  
  // ... etc etc.
  
  // Now you want to destroy the map view
  // so you're able to create another one 
  // (like in a different window)
  
  mapview.onDestroy();
  

  I hope that helped.
