Problems with making a Map View and Current Location

I am trying to open a Map View with an alert that shows my current location - seems pretty simple but I just get a blank screen - here is my code - what am I doing wrong?

If you are running on Android, you need to go get a key from Google.

The Best documentation for this is still on codestrong - http://www.codestrong.com/timobile/howto/using-maps-on-android

You are actually not creating an annotation.

var annotation = Titanium.Map.createAnnotation({
    latitude:37.390749,
    longitude:-122.081651,
    title:"Appcelerator Headquarters",
    subtitle:'Mountain View, CA',
    pincolor:Titanium.Map.ANNOTATION_RED,
    animate:true,
    leftButton: '../images/appcelerator_small.png',
    myid:1 // CUSTOM ATTRIBUTE THAT IS PASSED INTO EVENT OBJECTS
});

@ Glenn - That works! It brings up the map, however, I don't want it to default to Apple Headquarters. I have read that we can't get the actual current location until we put it on a device, but it seems like this code:

latitude:37.390749,
longitude:-122.081651,

is forcing it to that location which I don't want…

function getLocation()
{
Titanium.Geolocation.addEventListener('location',function(e)
{
    if (e.error) {
        alert('Sorry, but Geolocation not available in your device');
        return;
    }

    var longitude = e.coords.longitude;
    var latitude = e.coords.latitude;
    var altitude = e.coords.altitude;
    var heading = e.coords.heading;
    var accuracy = e.coords.accuracy;
    var speed = e.coords.accuracy;
    var timestamp = e.coords.timestamp;
    var altitude = e.coords.altitudeAccuracy;

        lat = e.coords.longitude;
        lon = e.coords.latitude;
     alert('lat '+lat+'long '+lon);


     });

}
