Android basic API v2 MapActivity outOfMemory with 10 markers-Collection of common programming errors

I am trying to implement map using Android Maps API v2 with Android Support Library, testing on Droid2 with Android 2.2 Everything is working well but just for a short period of time. Once I add 10 markers and try to move the map around or zoom in/out the following errors are thrown every second resulting in dreaded exception and crash follows. I am doing nothing in the background. There is literally just the map and 10 markers.

Thank you for any tips.
