You must be talking about Android-x86, if you're running it in VirtualBox on a PC.
One thing, Android-x86 is alpha and is still a project in development. Google Maps does work, however many apps do not and will just crash. What you can do to fix it, I guess would be to get on the Android-x86 forums and provide some feedback possibly.

Another possibility is that it's looking to see if the GPS is turned on ... and there's no GPS, so it's getting null data - which can cause an app to go "blue sky" - the software equivalent of losing its mind. The emulator (Android is being emulated on an X86) probably doesn't have "return that the GPS is turned off" code yet.
And if you did add a GPS dongle to the laptop (why would you need GPS on a desktop - you know where it is), it's probably not going to be giving the same software responses that the GPS radio in an Android phone does, so you might be sitting in Kansas, but the map app will tell you that you're in Mike's house in China.
If you really need a map app while you're running Android in Virtualbox, run a browser and go to Google Maps or Mapquest.
