The Google Maps application, and indeed even the Google Maps API, is
not currently part of the open source code, so it's not available on
Freerunner. My impression of the UI responsiveness in general is that
it's smooth but slow. Obviously such things are subjective, so you'd
really have to see for yourself.

You might get more answers to this sort of question on the
android-freerunner list (see
http://android.koolu.org/listinfo.cgi/android-freerunner-koolu.org) to
subscribe.
