Once a device doesn't have Market on it, any and all bets are off. Android is open source. People can do anything in the world they want with it and nobody can stop them. There are, however, strict compatibility requirements in order to be able to include Market. That said, including Google's maps API is not one of those requirements... on the other hand, if a manufacturer is taking the step of getting Market on their device, not at that point also including maps should be pretty unusual.
