Yes... GeePS started as just a front-end to google maps. It is growing to have some functions not directly related to google maps. But all that has to do with showing a map is "google maps",

I assume you are talking about the google "kit" for symbian phones. If that is the case both are front-ends that embed a web site using google maps Javascript API.
