Well iOS 6 on the whole is pretty decent. It's maps that is a true train-wreck. That being said, it's not suprising that launching a brand new map service is going to be worse than the established one that's had years of feedback and growing pains of its own. Also, this was really the only way for Apple to get that type of feedback, so the actual decision to do so isn't surprising. That doesn't mean I don't want my damn google maps back though.

Yeah but "brand new map service" can't be an excuse to drive people in the river or make them fall of the bridge. The product they've launched can at best be called an alpha (not even a beta product) which was a foolish decision by the decision makers IMHO.

I'm not even going to upgrade since I use maps all the damn time.
