Why is minimum SDK version 14? #38

Hi, guys.

Sorry, if I ask improper question, but I really can't understand why the library needs API version 14 or more. Google maps are available from API 11. I changed minimum SDK version to 11, compiled successfully and used to some extend the library. What causes the reason to use higher API?

Regards, SaQada

Nothing, just though about no device that running on pre-ICS can install latest google play services and app without full storage.
