I've had the same experience, but is it Maps, or the continual use of GPS?

It's probably both. Apple Maps is lighter on the battery, but I'd assume it uses the GPS too since it uses the battery harder than would be expected with just keeping the screen on.

I'm pretty sure it's maps- could be a buggy version. IME Apple maps navigation causes minimal battery drain.
