Titanium for Android - how to create multiple mapView

My app is: display several points in mapView. Click in each point will open the detail window of this point (name, address, website….), plus 2 button 'View on map' and 'Route to it'. When click on button 'View on Map', this will open this point in another mapView. From this mapView, we can back to detail window, and from detail window, we can back to the first mapView.
It's OK to create multiple mapView in iPhone. But when I run this code (of iPhone) in Android, it get this error:

MapView already created. Android can support one MapView per Application

It seem Android doesn't support 2 or more mapview in app. Can you find another solution for this situation?

It is not possible. Google only allows one mapview.
