Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 Today @ 6PM
Apple were the ones who were responsible for the original mapping application, not google - google simply provided the maps, apple wrote the application. Whether they were constrained by their licensing deal with google, Apple never really updated the Maps application (barring compass when they added this into the hardware).
They've made a massive thing of their "war" on google and they made a massive thing of how brilliant the new maps were.
The plain and simple fact is, that iOS6 is to all intents and purposes iOS5 - "but a bit worse". The only redeeming feature of iOS6 is "do not disturb", but that's such a basic that it's unforgivable that it's not been in there since day 1.
Apple have a long track record of not listening to their iOS customers requests/ideas/gripes, it'll be interesting to see now that their back is to the wall what their response and actions will be.
Mediocrity is not something that one usually expects from Apple, but they've delivered it with abundance here.

In Apples defence you have to remember a lot of their software is from acquisitions, one of which was C3 technologies. Reading the following article they are using some clever technology but I guess it's prone to problems that would no doubt be ironed out over releases.

Maybe I don't use enough of my phone to actually care.
The maps are poor and I do agree they should not have bigged themselves up about it, surely they knew they weren't very good!

C3 is used only for the 3D tech, the problem with iOS6 maps is not with the 3D but with the datasource used to build the geo data.
Apple can't aquire anybody (barring google) to fix that, fixing it requires a *lot* of time.

I just can't believe how f*cked the maps are! I could defend Apple all day everyday but this is inexcusable!!! Jeez!!!!!
What a mess!!!
I know they wanted to do it all themselves and that is great... But... But... Just pay some other mapping company to provide the maps??? Join BING maps or something?? SOMETHING!!!!!!!!! This is getting stupid!!

Re: iPhone 5. Pre-Orders 14/9. Ships 21/9. iOS6 Today @ 6PM
This is the problem. There aren't any.
Google have the best dataset, as mentioned earlier, they've been out with cars and built their own map dataset from the ground up. Not just roads either.
The others main players in geo data:
Navteq - Owned by Nokia.
Teleatlas - Owned by TomTom.
Hence Apple using Teleatlas as a datasource for their geo data, the problem with that is that it's mainly road data and as anybody who's just upgraded from 5 to 6 will tell you, there's more to maps than roads!

This.
This too. It's even worse for a iPhone 4, because it doesn't really get any new features, just loses some. Oh, and FYI Apple, it's not acceptable to stop basic features being added in updates once a device gets over 2 years old.

The beginning of the end.
ok, I'm talking balls - but I bet there are loads of people the world over feeling the same. And will do next week when the novelty of thier iPhone 5 has worn off.
They need to kiss and make up with google quick, otherwise this could get even shitter imo. Unless they have a super amazing version of maps all sorted and ready waiting to arrive when the 5 drops. But only available for the 5..

. That was with an order time of 11:15 14/09/12 for reference.When will the be realistically in a position to radically "upgrade" the maps app? One year, two years, five years!?
We know how long it took Google to get to the position they're in.
Apple really have dropped a bollock.
3D view is s**t too, why would I want 3D over street view?
