A shame, that phone can run the Google Maps webapp pretty well.

I'm getting the feeling that most problems with the new Maps come from it's subpar recommendation/auto-correct engine, which (unsurprisingly) is great in Google maps. It gets thing right if you type exact, complete addresses, but can fail miserably on basic queries.

It's difficult to operate the Google Maps website on the small screen of a phone. On the other hand, it works well on an iPad. After I installed iOS 6, I added a shortcut to Google Maps on the desktop. Works great.
