At least on Android, for ~75% of mobile users globally, Google Maps is more important than Uber for getting from place to place. Every Android user has Google Maps. Virtually every Android user uses Google Maps. The same is not true for Uber.

I have a strong feeling that Uber will be launching their standalone mapping service soon
