I have two question to put forward:

  1. I was very interested, even intrigued by the Maps application on the android emulator. Where can I get the source code for it?

  2. There is a Maps Editor on the Android Market, it cannot be downloaded to the emulator. But again, where can I find the source code to that?

You can't -- that is a proprietary application. Source code is not available.

If you are referring to "My Maps Editor by Google", that too is a proprietary application as far as I know. It is actually a part of the Google Maps application for Android 1.6+, according to one of the comments. I do not believe there is source code available for it.

There is the Google Maps add-in for Android. You can find it documented as part of the SDK docs. This allows you to embed a map and do basic things. You do not have access to the source for the add-in, and the add-in does only a small percentage of the things that the full Google Maps application does. This is not significantly different than Google Maps on the Web -- it's not like you get access to Google's server code there.
