Even if Google releases a standalone maps app, isn't his Yelp address example still a non-starter? It has been a long time since I was a daily iOS user (iPhone 3G), but unless things have changed drastically it doesn't have an Android-like Intent system and I doubt Apple will make the default action for clicking addresses in other apps be to start Google Maps now.

I'm not sure how it is done but the app AroundMe has, since 2009, shown me the location on the maps app but has also always given a "Route Using" option which has all the GPS apps on my phone including the maps app. Selecting the navigon feom there starts the navigation to that address using navigon.

Yes, without jailbreaking it won't be possible.
