Google Maps 7.0.2 beautiful on 2.0.1047!
Disclaimer: This is no way an insult towards BlackBerry Maps, it's more about the 4.2.2 runtime.
Update
-7.1 is out, you can get it at this site: http://apps.goodereader.com/apk-2-bar/
-Here is a direct link to the highest version I was able to make work:
http://69.162.109.42/Apk2Bar/bar/com....701000814.bar
-Do not try to install version v7.1.0.701000822 or v7.1.0.701000823. These are probably for the new Nexus 7 that has the 4.3 runtime and will not work on the BB 10.2 android 4.2.2 runtime.

FAQ
Google Maps 7.0.2 (July 2013) looks beautiful and is buttery smooth on 2.0.1047
You can find it on this site, no need for debug tokens, etc.: http://apps.goodereader.com/apk-2-bar/
You can do a search for "maps" there, it will bring up a couple of 7.0.2 results, here is the one that I am using: http://69.162.109.42/Apk2Bar/bar/com....700022113.bar
Note:
-you need to know how to sideload
-you won't be able to sign in, Google uses some kind of android account system on its devices instead of just asking for username and password.
-beautiful and buttery smooth != no bugs
Some pics for your enjoyment:
