That's my recollection, too. +1 to bringing back Maps.

I thought the point of gnome-software was to make apps discoverable without
default installation. I believe that if you type "map" in the overview you
get prompted to install maps, which is great. Having a "search provider"
recognize an address typed in to the overview and then prompting a maps
install would be great too (don't think it does this now). Ultimately,
"intents" (a la android) would be cool for x-app installation/discovery
(then contacts could ask for a map, or whatever).
However, I fail to see how including gnome-maps furthers the goal of
workstation appealing to developers. As a result, and because it is quite
discoverable) I would argue against inclusion by default.
