    It seems Apple has been granted a patent for their maps app. Not the recent maps app that's been getting all the attention, but for the app they made for the iPhone 3G in 2008. The patent basically details the UI for a touchscreen smartphone including stuff like pinch zoom, using cellular data for location triangulation, and layers.

    Apple awarded patent rights for original iOS Maps app GUI

    United States Patent: 8302033)

    How many times can you patent pinch to zoom? Leave it to Apple to patent something they didn't invent.
