Why Gmap and App Map do not work on Emulator?

Question

I use Eclipse and Android SDK to develop apps for android,recently i wrote a program to show a map on it, it works fine on real device but it don't show any map on emulator.

I check the emulator internet connection and it works and i checked the browser on emulator and it works and i checked the Google map app on the emulator and it show me an black page.

I think about a graphical library or something would be missing, is it possible ? what can i do to correct it?

PS:

1-I use Google APIs 4.2.2 image.

2-I know there are many emulator but they don't works with DDMS on Eclipse.for example DDMS can't send GPS location or SMS to theme or call theme.and i want some log system like LogCat.

because Emulator doesn't have `googleplay services` installed which is required for MAP. — Spring Breaker, Apr 24 '14 at 09:04
brother you have to create the third party emulator called genymotion behaving like real devices because android emulator doesn`t support the google play services...... — Ravind Maurya, Apr 24 '14 at 09:05
maps require google play services so you need to have google play api platfrom 4.2.2 or higher and you can test map app on emulator — Raghunandan, Apr 24 '14 at 09:06
I have installed google-play services with sdk maneger and i use Google APIs 4.2.2 image. — Shombol-shagol, Apr 24 '14 at 09:07

Genny Motion is the best solution by far and had almost all features a developer needs.

But the reason that i cant see the map is the time i should wait and https protocol which is don't work properly in our country because of it's encryption ,it seems it took a while to appear a map, i left the program to eat dinner , when i came back it appears !!! but Google map App still don't work , maybe it needs time too.
