Yes, the Google Maps links are supposed to invoke the iPhone Google Maps app instead of just go to the website.
I tried these links in a non-iUI AJAX page I created before trying iUI, and they worked fine. In other words, when you change or add to a page's DOM by putting in such a hyperlink, clicking on the link invokes the iPhone's Google Maps application, and clicking on a "tel:" link pops up the phone call dialog. I'm sure many folks have already tested and seen this in their own apps. However, when you do the same thing with iUI (which does its own AJAX--e.g., adding "results.html" in my example below), clicking on these links causes Safari to spin forever. It would be great to find out why and to resolve this issue. At the moment, I have not found a workaround.
