I just tested following some links from the Browser on my T-Mobile G1. A maps URL link opened up a "Complete action using" dialog that offered to use either the Browser or Google Maps: <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps? saddr=42.35892,-71.05781&daddr=40.756054,-73.986951">Test link</a>
A geo URI link opened up the Google Maps app immediately: <a href="geo:0,0?q=restaurant+near+boston">Test link</a> So using a geo URI might make launching the Google Maps app more certain on Android devices that have it. You can't do as much as with a maps URL, though.
