Second this. I would guess the number of iPhones with Google Maps installed is less than 20% just thinking through people I know. Of course some of those older relatives also don't use online maps so this number might be misleading.

Agree Apple Maps is great now.
Except the multi-stop support only works for driving... but other than that it works very well.
It'd been awhile since I'd actually driven until a couple of weeks ago and I was pleasantly surprised how good the turn-by-turn directions were, announcing things like "go past the next light then turn left".

I’ve been using it in the new electric car I got with CarPlay this year, and it’s fantastic. It’s integration with the battery charging is pretty much everything I want: it automatically chooses a charging point for a trip that will need a charge, based on my battery’s current charge level. It even tells me the number of minutes the charging will likely take, since it knows the speed of the chargers it recommends.
Last night I tried thr single button “Share ETA” from CarPlay, too.

Apple Maps has been noticeably better than Google Maps for directions in the last year or so when I've been testing them both.
With so many iPhones and Apple Maps being an smoother experience (Siri/OS integration), it definitely competes heavily with Google (at least in US).
