I had done like this using Google maps.

    String initial = "<!DOCTYPE html>\r\n" +
    "<html> \r\n" +
    "<head> \r\n" +
    "  <meta http-equiv=\"content-type\" content=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\" /> \r\n" +
    "  <title>Google Maps Multiple Markers</title> \r\n" +
    "  <script src=\"http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false\" \r\n" +
    "          type=\"text/javascript\"></script>\r\n" +
    "</head> \r\n" +
    "<body>\r\n" +
    "  <div id=\"map\" style=\"width: 360px; height: 390px;\"></div>\r\n" +
    "\r\n" +
    "  <script type=\"text/javascript\">\r\n" +
    "    var locations = [";
String second= " ];\r\n" +
        "\r\n" +
        "    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {\r\n" +
        "      zoom: 8,";
String centerPoint ="";
String finalpart = " mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP\r\n" +
        "    });\r\n" +
    "\r\n" +
    "    var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();\r\n" +
    "\r\n" +
    "    var marker, i;\r\n" +
    "\r\n" +
    "    for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {  \r\n" +
    "      marker = new google.maps.Marker({\r\n" +
    "        position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1], locations[i][2]),\r\n" +
    "        map: map\r\n" +
    "      });\r\n" +
    "\r\n" +
    "      google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {\r\n" +
    "        return function() {\r\n" +
    "          infowindow.setContent(locations[i][0]);\r\n" +
    "          infowindow.open(map, marker);\r\n" +
    "        }\r\n" +
    "      })(marker, i));\r\n" +
    "    }\r\n" +
    "  </script>\r\n" +
    "</body>\r\n" +
    "</html>";

html=new StringBuffer();
html.append(initial);


 point = "['"+name[i]+"',"+lat[i]+","+ lon[i]+","+i+"],";
 html.append(point);

 html.append(second);
   html.append(centerPoint);
   html.append(finalpart);
   //System.out.println("Plot is"+html.toString());
   BrowserFieldConfig _bfConfig = new BrowserFieldConfig();        
  _bfConfig.setProperty(BrowserFieldConfig.NAVIGATION_MODE,BrowserFieldConfig.NAVIGATION_MODE_POINTER);
  _bfConfig.setProperty( BrowserFieldConfig.JAVASCRIPT_ENABLED, Boolean.TRUE );
  _bfConfig.setProperty(BrowserFieldConfig.USER_AGENT, "MyApplication 1.0");
  BrowserField myBrowserField = new BrowserField(_bfConfig);

   myBrowserField.displayContent(html.toString(), "");
   HorizontalFieldManager horf=new HorizontalFieldManager(HORIZONTAL_SCROLL);
   horf.add(myBrowserField);
   add(horf);

When i click the pin, it will show the name of the user.

This is very similar to another recent question. In the other question, the poster was asking how to draw a custom image for the map pin (marker). It's not clear to me whether you want a custom image as your map pin, or not. But, if you do, and are happy to use MapField, then

see this solution.

You just don't need to worry about the part where I draw a second layer on the pin, for the round user profile picture.

But, you will still override the paint() method to draw your custom pin, then determine the location of the user touch/click on the map, and calculate distance from that touch/click to the pin, to determine which pin was clicked. Handling the touch/click will work differently for touchscreen and non-touchscreen devices, but I link to the API methods you will need to use for both.

@Newts, My answer is not for Google Maps. It's for the `MapField` class, which is a part of the BlackBerry APIs. Did you want the solution to draw the pin in the separate built-in maps app (leaving your app)? If so, please clarify this in your question. But, if your app shows embedded maps with `MapField`, or a subclass of `MapField`, then my answer will work. — Nate, Jun 11 '12 at 20:47
