During the WWDC keynote, Apple claimed that Apple Maps had 3.5x the usage of "the next most used mapping app" (probably Google Maps), for whatever that's worth.
Gotta admire their spin on "one fifth of our users went to the trouble of replacing a core OS feature"

How do you get ton one fifth of our users? Just trying to understand your math.
Assumed that Google Maps plus Apple Maps usage ~= 100% iOS users.
1 + 3.5 = 4.5
1 / 4.5 = 22.2%

Since this is from WWDC, they probably counted every Apple Maps API call and compared that to GM app uses for over 5 minutes.
It's WWDC, its the keynote, its full with outrageous statistics like the many performance claims.
On iOS, not globally

I'm actually surprised their lead is that small - maybe transit directions will stop people using Google maps on iOS though. I wonder if that's the preinstalled app the most people would replace if they could though.
Out of genuine curiosity, any source for that? Do you mean crushes Google Maps on Apple phones? Or overall?
