Display a marker on MapView, using Overlays.

Expends from last exercise, AndroidMapper. A marker is shown on the current location using Overlays, if MapView started with location, Mode 1.



To use Overlays, a class of InterestingLocations have to be created, extends ItemizedOverlay.

It involve modification on AndroidMapView.java
