Apple Maps in iOS6

Yes, if you upgrade to 6.0 you will lose Google Maps and get Apple Maps.  Honestly if you are on a 3GS or a 4 I would not bother.  Most of the new features are not available on the 3GS or 4 (only on the 4S and 5).

Google is "working on" a standalone app for iOS6.  The web app of GM is OK but pretty clunky and not really integrated into the OS.

Dear Apple:
  With your hoity-toity device not being contracted with U.S. Cellular, boooooo on you.

Signed,

Happier with U.S. Cellular customer

I used it for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised.  My standards (or use of maps) might not be as intense as others though..

I was wondering how long it would take before it de-evolved into a Droid vs Apple peeing match..

I upgraded to 6 on my 3GS...haven't really tried the maps function yet.

Not to hijack, but anyone else that upgraded on a 3GS...a question...when I was synching the phone I now have a big yellow section of "other" in the bar that shows how full your phone is...and it makes my phone "over capacity".  But I've never even been CLOSE to capacity before.  Anyone know why the big yellow "other" bar now?

It's always been there.  Other is everything that is not in the other categories so

email, docs, app storage (not the apps themselves but any files they store on the phone, e.g. dropbox favorites), map cache, text messages etc...

How's the street view in Apple maps?

Personally I think google should just say screw em and not update it for 6. They want a private gated community, let em have it.

There is no street view.  There is no public transportation maps.  Traffic is non-existent in a lot of places that GM gives tons of info.

How early did you pre-order?  I ordered Friday afternoon and mine is still "processing" (as in has NOT shipped).

Yes, but my "other" block PRIOR to the update was very very small...hardly noticeable.  Now it's HUGE and makes my phone over capacity...and I didn't do anything but update the software and synch the phone!

I'd do a backup and restore.  It's likely stuff leftover from the upgrade.

Actually, the more users, the better a map app works.  Especially for things like traffic.  Google doesn't want to loose the iOS6 user numbers, and Apple is trying to keep and increase their user numbers.

Okay, I'll try that tonight.  Never done it before.  Is that just the button under update that says to revert to factory if your phone isn't working right?

About 10am CST on the 14th from Verizon.  Got the email with the tracking number on Wednesday.
