loading map page with a route and stops is slow, and shows too many stops

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. search for a valid route number
2. map page loads slowly, but is correct
3. The route is also crowded with lots of stops

Find a way to show only some stops, and show the rest when zooming in

I think we do not have to show any bus icons at all when zoomed out a lot.

and show little dots when zooming in a little bit.
When sufficiently zoomed in, then show bus stop icons.

As we discussed yesterday, there are some approaches we can take to improve 
this 
including multithreading and Pyong's suggestion. However there isn't enough 
time to 
implement and test either of these with the deadline coming up. So I have added 
Toast 
messages that will show up while the map is drawing that essentially tells the 
user 
that it is loading.
