Hey guys,

can I get the background image from the Maps app (when the map is curled up and the segmented control for map modes is visible) from somewhere?

Could you take a screenshot? Press and hold the home button, and then press the sleep button. The image will be put in your Photo gallery.

Do you need a screenshot to see what I mean or is that your proposal for the solution?

Well I guess it sounds like that's not a solution, but that is what I was suggesting. Maybe I don't know what you are asking for.
Renesis
No worries man, I'll see how that works!

I know this is an old post, but maybe some people might be interested in this: To get the picture, you need a jailbroken device. Then, you can copy the entire Maps.app from the device to your device via scp. Finally, use this to convert the iPhone .png files to .png files you can read with your computer.

Hope this helps someone!

Searching Google for "iphone maps background", I came to this page. As @ryyst suggested, I pulled the png files off of Maps.app. Here is the image I was searching for:
