mapView - can't get rid of it

I have several functions each calling a different mapView. I have a back button that removes them... is supposed to anyways. I have tried setting the object .isVisible = false, removeSelf() and even = nil and nothing gets rid of the mapView.

Any thoughts?

I just modified one of the buttons in the MapView sample to remove the map and it worked (build 567).

1
2
3

local button3Release = function( event )
        myMap:removeSelf()              -- remove the map object
end

I'm using 574 so let me go back a few builds and try again

Didn't matter... This may have something to do with CoronaUI list and not directly with the mapView. I am going to try to destroy it by other means.

-- creates map for Orlando Office
myMap = native.newMapView( 10, 10, 300, 180 )
                myMap.mapType = "normal" -- other mapType options are "satellite" or "hybrid"
 
                -- The MapView is just another Corona display object, and can be moved or rotated, etc.
                myMap.x = display.contentWidth / 2
                myMap.y = 385
 
                -- Initialize map to a real location, since default location (0,0) is not very interesting
                myMap:setCenter( 28.514876, -81.377577 )
                myMap:addMarker( 28.514876, -81.377577, { title="Downtown Office", subtitle="25 W. Crystal Lake St Suite 200" } )
myMap.isVisible = false
 
-- function called when back button is pressed coronaui
function soundonPressDowntown(event)
                media.playEventSound( "Tock.caf" )
                downtownScreen:slideToRight( officeScreen)
                downtownImage.isVisible = false
                myTextObjectDowntown.isVisible = false
                myTextObjectDowntown2.isVisible = false
            callButton.isVisible = false
                orlandoOffice.isVisible = false
                myMap.isVisible = false
                myMap:removeSelf()      
end
 
-- item selected from xml scroll list made with coronaui
function downtownInfo( item )
        
        if officeScreen then
                media.playEventSound( "Tock.caf" )
                officeScreen:slideToLeft( downtownScreen )
                downtownScreen:addBackButton (soundonPressDowntown)
                downtownImage.isVisible = true
                myTextObjectDowntown.isVisible = true
                myTextObjectDowntown2.isVisible = true
                callButton.isVisible = true
                transition.to(callButton, {time=1,alpha=1,x=(225),y=(170)})
                local isAndroid = "Android" == system.getInfo("platformName")
                if isAndroid then
                orlandoOffice = display.newImage("orlandooffice-android.png")
                orlandoOffice.x = _W/2; orlandoOffice.y = 385
                else
                myMap.isVisible = true          
                end
                else
 
        end
end
