Didn't want to hijack the existing thread...and have posted in here since the comparison to Ios6 Apple Maps.
Couple of issues with Google Maps so far...while it definitely has the advantage from a POI standpoint...far and above Apple Maps...it looks like their problems/issues revolve around UI and/or turn-by-turn.
Obviously, I have only used it this morning, but a couple of issues have come up..one major and others not but just annoyances that can/will probably be fixed.
Attached picture shows what came up when I was dropping my son off at school before heading to work. The correct "direction" given should have been to turn right and then make a U-turn to head South, not turn left. This is fairly common in Michigan and it has been this way for decades on this particular turn. Very dangerous as someone that doesn't know this would most likely follow the directions before noticing the "no left turn" sign that is posted or would not be able to get over three lanes to make the correct right hand turn.
I've actually seen people do this and get rear ended by folks coming up behind them at the speed limit (45 mph through here in this case).
