It looks like WAP is a standard protocol for mobile phones and mobile telecomunications.
An android application is not tied to a specific standard or protocole. It just uses the connection provided by the android phone. This connection could either be a 3G connection or a Wifi connection. (Or a WAP connection, but this standard is getting old)
To summarise Google Maps uses a connection to get localisation data etc. But the Google Maps application is not “aware” of the caracteristics of that connection. It is just using whatever available connection through a sort of wrapper.
