People switched to Google Maps because Apple Maps was absolutely awful and completely unusable.

Even today (the actually happened this morning), I type an address two blocks away and I'm shown an address in Portugal. I live in Argentina. Why it assumed I was looking for a street across the Atlantic Ocean rather than one within walking distance is beyond me (also, the street name did not match).

This also happens if I tap on a contact's address -- even though the contacts app shows the minimap with the right location.
