Outside of the horrible mapping of IOS6 the iPhone 5 seems to be crushing the competition in every other category!
I only used maps twice on my 4S and I haven't had an issue with it. I didn't use the old one though either because while it was a good search tool it really sucked when you were driving. It lacked voice guidance and the interface was terrible.
I understand that some people have had some issues but for me its been better than the old one. I still think it is flawed though because it requires a data connection which I DO NOT like. Its ok around town but I will be keeping Tom Tom on my 5 when I get it for any road trips I go on.
Can you download Google maps?
Don't believe it's in the App Store yet. Google Earth is.
U dont need your garmin anymore throw it away the iphone 5 maps work as it should
I always used mapquest. Voice directionals as well. It works great. It's also a free app.
How are the walking maps or any recommendations for apps that provide good walking directions?
I used Apple Maps to navigate myself from Southern Indiana to Pigeon Forge Tennessee without a problem. Also used it to navigate myself around the city on foot without an issue and took me right to the places I wanted to go.
You can try Whereis? though I do have Tomtom which I mostly use.
New Apple Maps has lacked many things as compared to Google maps. The number one thing is Google's database. Apple Maps sources its location information from Yelp, which so far is less reliable than Google's offering. Also, you totally lose mass transit directions, which always existed on Google Maps.
