Just tried this approach. It was a bit of a saga:
1. The google maps API insists on using SSL. 2. To use SSL I had to upagrade to the latest esp8266 arduino code (2.4.0). 3. I ran out of heap trying to connect. So back to my current solution which involves calling out to my own web server. I guess I could get that to proxy for google maps...
