Pleas some one help me on this.

i think you need to remove `Fragment` on `onDestroyView(....)` event — M D, Mar 26 '14 at 12:30

As Simple Plan told, you need to remove the map in your onDestroyView. You can do this like this:

@Override
public void onDestroyView() {
        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = ((SupportMapFragment) getActivity()
                .getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.google_map));

        if(mapFragment != null) {
            FragmentManager fM = getFragmentManager();
            fM.beginTransaction().remove(mapFragment).commit();
        }
      super.onDestroyView(); 
    }

If this doesn't work try this post: Error opening SupportMapFragment for second time

Instead of declaring de SupportMapFragment in layout, do it programatically and be sure you use getChildFragmentMananger instead of the classic getFragmentManager() to create the fragment.

mMapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance();
    FragmentTransaction fragmentTransaction =
             getChildFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
     fragmentTransaction.add(R.id.map_root, mMapFragment);
     fragmentTransaction.commit();

Keep this SupportMapFragment mMapFragment as you will need it to retrieve the GoogleMap object:

 GoogleMap map = mMapFragment.getMap();

Try to remove Fragment in onDestroyView(....) event of your Fragment like

 @Override
    public void onDestroyView ()
    {
        try{
          SupportMapFragment fragment = ((SupportMapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map1));
          FragmentTransaction ft = getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
          ft.remove(fragment);
          ft.commit();
        }catch(Exception e){
        }
      super.onDestroyView();  
  }

And give me feedback on this.

That's a really bad code. Have you read about [nested fragments](http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.2.html#NestedFragments) and how to properly use them? — MaciejGórski, Mar 26 '14 at 21:45
