Raj,
I looked at the gmaps script and indeed it's obsolete, not just in
terms of google maps, but also in relation to greasemonkey itself; it
appears to have been written before the advent of XPCNative Wrappers.
In short, it needs to be rather thoroughly rewritten.

And I'm sorry to say I don't know offhand of other scripts that would
be of use to you here; I'm not big into the geotagging "thing."

If you want to try to rewrite the script, you need to read up on
xpcnative wrappers; the first chapter of Mark's book covers this and
is available online [1]. Also check here [2]. As for the google maps
functions it hooks into, I can point you towards their current
incarnations if you post them on this list. Also there's a usenet
group covering the API [3].
