My iOS6 maps experience comes down to the new Maps has a far better UI but sucks at figuring out where you want to go unless you provide the street address.
(It's not like the old Maps app was flawless. It's just that it usually worked and the new one usually doesn't. I'm in greater Washington DC, I'm sure your mileage will vary.)
The same can be said for Waze -- I often would convert a descriptive location (such as "San Francisco International" per another post) to a street address then copy and paste it into Waze. I use the conditional tense because I consider the new iOS Maps app to be superior to Waze for navigation, once you've found an address.
It seems to me Apple could easily cut a deal with a third-party-search-engine-that-isn't-Google to improve this simple flaw.
