Just got the droid and I love it. However I was playing around with the Google Maps Directions and such, entered in a few locations and it saved all of them to my Layers screen. How can I clear them? I don't want those there when I hit the layers button, but I can't find any option to clear them. Anyone know how?

I'm having this same exact problem, can't figure out how to clear out saved search layers.
I found this, but it doesn't seem to apply to the DROID

After more research, I found the following:
Go to:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
press the menu softkey, choose Filter, then choose All.
From there, you can choose the Maps and then select "Clear data"
However, this basically wipes the entire data storage for Maps.

Anyone know how to do this after the Maps update?

That button is grey, as in inactive.
Hmmm...that is odd...I was able to use it to clear my cache just before posting. I am running version 3238. What version do you have?

Same version 3.2.1 #3238

The only thing I've found to work is to uninstall the update via "Manage Applications" and then you can follow betoranaldi's instructions of
"Go to:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
press the menu softkey, choose Filter, then choose All.
From there, you can choose the Maps and then select "Clear data" "
Not a true fix by any means and it works at the expense of losing the new stuff offered by the updates.

This worked perfectly for me, thank you.
Welcome to Android Forums. Glad you could join in. Did you notice that the last time someone posted to this thread (date in upper left hand corner of the message) was just under three years ago? What one are you using and who is your carrier?
