Where did you download Opera from? You should choose the version that matches your OS:
Opera Mobile - Download
(See below for older OSs)
If you choose version 8.65 (as an example), you can select either a CAB or a MSI file. MSI you run from your PC while connected to your device. CAB you copy over to your device and execute from there.
Double check where you are getting Google maps from. If you choose Windows Mobile from this page, you should get a CAB file:
Google Mobile | Maps for your phone
Before you install anything, however, back up your device in case something goes wrong.
EDIT: in my quick search, I could only find that download page for Google. I"m not 100% sure it works for non-phones.
