This may just be dogpiling on the iOS6 Maps fail thing that's going around, but I think this touches on something I haven't seen really addressed here. Most people (and blogs) are concentrating on the sheer horrible data outside North America. Entire towns missing, roads missing, rivers in the wrong place, etc. But even in North America I find the new maps to be nigh unusable. The data seems pretty decent everywhere I've looked, but interacting with that data is just broken. Address searches don't work correctly - I've had "[number] [street name]" searches assume I'm talking about a town and take me hundreds of miles in the wrong direction. In fact, my unscientific observation is that for the searches I'm doing, Apple's new maps fail >50% of the time - as in, doesn't even close to the result I'm looking for. This level of failure is unheard of in GMaps' search feature. IMO, from the perspective of the end user, this gigantic failure of Maps functionality pretty much undoes all of the UX gains from various upgrades that iOS6 shipped with.
