For the Android Google Maps, there is no overlay available to
developers to add those items to a map. If you know where they are,
you could create your own overlay, but finding out where they are
could be painful (particularly given the Geocoder problems people seem
to have been having).

Now, if you integrate the Web-based Maps via a WebView widget, you may
have greater options -- I haven't used that, but others have.
