That said, there are other good reasons to include Maps. It is a handy application to have in the default install, and useful as a utility, in the same way as a dictionary, Clocks or Weather. From GNOME 3.16, Maps has two-way integration with Contacts - you can search for contacts from within Maps, and Contacts includes small maps for addresses (which act as a link to Maps).
Btw, seems the two big desktop OSes; OSX and Windows 10 both come with Maps apps build it these days.

Don't get me started on Windows 10 as a productivity workstation. ;-)
I'm fine with having maps *available*. I'm *not* fine with having it installed by default and having to remove it or de-configure it. For that matter I feel the same way about Weather - I just haven't gone to the trouble of configuring it out / removing it. Heck, it's only been since midway of the F21 cycle that I haven't removed Boxes after an install. ;-)
