Reports: Google Maps spans both iPhone Duo screens.

Google’s App Store release notes mention only bug fixes, but reports say version 26.44.4 gives Maps full use of the iPhone Duo’s two displays. The biggest change is inside: the interface opens up, with search and menus on the left and the map taking the rest, in a layout reminiscent of the iPad app. On the outer screen, the changes are mostly in the layout. Street View now opens beside the map; you can expand it to full screen, and folding the phone moves it to the outer display. You can’t swap the map and Street View sides yet, but you don’t have to lose the view when you fold the phone.
