Is it possible to use GNOME Maps in Ubuntu with Unity?

OMGUbuntu featured a Gnome Maps application which I would very much like to use in Ubuntu as well.

enter image description here

Is this possible to use Gnome Maps at all on a default installation of Ubuntu 12.04 - or should I expect Unity related issues?

(Of course I could just go ahead, download and install Gnome Maps. But fact is that I can't find a way of getting hold of the software really - I'm new to this. Therefore I'm asking this question hypothetically.)

Thanks to user @blade19899 for the help with this answer.

The source for Gnome Maps 3.10 is available at:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-maps/3.10/

Download and extract the file.

Install missing packages to build gnome-maps:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev intltool

Build:

./configure && make && sudo make install

The executable is located in:
```
.../gnome-maps-3.10.0/src/gnome-maps
```

Unfortunately, running gnome-maps returns an error ./gnome-maps: 18: exec: -I: not found. It's not working, but it isn't officially supported on 12.04 either.
