If the question is about Semantic Google Maps, the tricky part there is that
SGM also includes two components unrelated to SMW queries: a map to display
a single point, and a map that serves as a form input for coordinates;
adding all of that functionality into SRF might be too much of a hack.
If it wasn't about Semantic Google Maps, then never mind. :)
