Having used Google Maps in android and apple's maps in iOS 6, I have to say that Apple is doing a pretty good job. The UI in android can be very frustrating (the layers metaphor can feel very clunky), and the navigation never, ever worked as well in android as it has in iOS (ymmv, of course). They certainly need to work on their POI database, but apple has made a fairly good first iteration. If Google released a maps app that is only as good as their android version I probably wouldn't bother downloading it.
