Of course it is. We know the map data is better in some areas than others.
And none of those areas have Street View which is a downgrade to the previous app, a feature that the OP was talking about, a useful feature used by automatic generated links to the maps app, and a feature that you will no longer be able to use even if you do get a Google Maps app because Apple doesn't allow default apps to be defined. And even if his area is better, outside of maybe China, is there any place where it has been proven the data is better than Google's? Why are we trying to play down the state of Apple Maps when by now it's widely recognized how it stacks up.
