It seems Google has finally updated Google Maps to feature multitouch support. Since the Droid runs on Android 2.0, the capability for multitouch was always there, but the program was never written to encompass multitouch.
If you own the Motorola Droid, go to the Android Market app and find the Google Maps app, then press install updates. The 3.4.0 update is about 3.01MB large and takes around 10 seconds to download, depending on your connection. Since I have the Motorola Droid, I was able to check out the latest Google Maps update, and the ability to pinch and zoom into the map definitely makes it easier to use.
