I can find any place, but can't zoom to it or move around. It's stucked or the map simply disappears and the screen is gray and empty. It's annoying. Is it a Maps app problem or some Google's issue?
iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi, iOS 5.1
Try some basic troubleshotting.
Quit the maps app and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus ➖ sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

It s helpful to the community if you state what you have already tried so that we are not wasting time on steps you have already attempted. We don't know unless you inform us. 😉
If you think it's a bug - report it.
I tried all of this before I posted my question. Anyway, I found out when it exactly happens - after I drop a pin and add this location to some existing contact. After this the Maps app is simply broken, I have to completely restart the iPad (cold start) and then it works fine (unless I drop another pin). It's a bug for sure.
Yes, I am using iCloud and I have suspicion it's related with the contact update/sync in cloud. After I restart iPad or the app, it works correctly again. My wifi/Internet connection is working well, I don't have any problem with it. It seems to be a bug.
I have exactly the same problem but am not using ICloud. (I tried it but it deleted my calendar and contacts - so I quit it!)
I sync contacts with iTunes and a cable. So no good reason it shouldn't work.. Apart from a bug.
Ok, my mistake, I am an IT guy, so I assume such steps as a sure thing :) Thanx for the lnk, I will report it!
If it happens when you tie it to a contact, are you using the cloud? Is it freezing trying to update your contacts list elsewhere?
When the map disappears do you have good cellular service or Wi-Fi connection? Without these you cannot load the needed map.
My Maps app is not working - zoom/moving issue - map disappearing
