People use Apple Maps?
You bet. Nothing by Google touches my devices.

What don't I know? I find Street View very usable on both portable devices and on the desktop.
Good for you if Apple Maps matches your use case but for many not having a functional transit feature is an instant deal breaker. Even if you live in a city covered by Apple's transit data, it doesn't work if you live in the suburbs or if you need to travel outside of that city. Apple Maps is fundamentally broken for those of us who rely on public transport and that's most Europeans living in urban areas.
********. I live in New York and don't need transit directions from Apple Maps or Google. If you live here and don't know how to use the Subway, or the LIRR, or Metro North etc., you should probably go back where you came from. That includes people living in Paris, London, Madrid, Rome etc. for their respective transit systems as well.

Still five years behind Google Maps.
They could have bought Nokia Here Maps and immediately caught up. Instead they bought Beats.
Then Google bought Songza, a better product, for 1/100th the price and created Google Music as it now stands, which is arguably better than the Apple version.
How much longer can this go on?
Twenty years before GM went bankrupt they were the largest company on Earth. No one could have ever imagined GM going under.
Is Apple too big to fail?
Go back to Mountainview.
