It's technically possible to make Google Maps act like you're used to but it would be against their API terms of service unfortunately. It's a shame. Some of the functions can and have been done - there are at least 2 okay Latitude updaters on the Nokia Store (however you can't see your friends location). Places and Transit should work in a limited fashion if you use Google Reader or Plus to get into Google's enhanced mobile site (iPhone like) but not Maps. Latitude and Traffic are the two things that really hurt badly for me.
