Apple's Maps have gotten plenty of complaints. One of the big ones was the lack of transit directions. For that, Apple told users to try a different mapping app, such as Google Maps, Mapquest, or HopStop. That last one was a popular option for people who just wanted a transit oriented app. By acquiring it, Apple's filling a hole in their app. By the time iOS 7 is actually released this fall, Apple could have added transit to their maps app, which will be on both iOS and Mac OS. Apple's taking a bet with Maps, so they're going to want to make sure it does everything users want it to.
