I have added this to the iPhoneWebDev FAQ at http://www.iphonewebdev.com/faq.shtml#faq36-text 4. Map Questions Q: How does a web page open a map in the internal map application? A: Any URLs in your html beginning with the text http://maps.google.com/maps? will instead of opening the web page be coerced to be displayed in the iPhone's internal map application. Q: How do I use any of the special map features such as satellite maps? A: The built-in iPhone application currently ignores many map? parameters. You can use query, location, directions, and specify a descriptive label using the + (Label+Text) parameter. However, you cannot use the t= parameter to specify the Satellite map, the z= parameter to indicate the map zoom level, layer=t to turn on the Traffic display, and so on.
