Default Re: Clearing google maps 3.1.x cache
rm /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/cache/webViewCache

however, try this first (to see how much space - if any) it is taking up.

cd /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps
du -h

Note the size of the webViewCache file, mine is only 2K. There are also (much larger) DATA_Tiles (which I assume is the bulk of the actual cached data) found in:
/data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/files

You can probably remove those as well with this command (you might lose some settings though)
rm -r /data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/files/*
