This is definately a deal breaker for me. Here is what Shinjuku station in Tokyo looks like. Keep in mind this station is by far the world's busiest transport hub. The station was used by an average of 3.64 million people per day in 2007 probably even more today. There are well over 200 exits. The station has 35 platforms, but if connected stations are included, this gives a total of 52 platforms.
So obviously this should be a reasonbly detailed map even for Apple. Unfortunately in IOS6 it looks like a map of the country side with no Station details at all. Last time I checked zooming in doesnt give any more detail for the station, actually zooming is not good as the station is so big you need to get a handle on the entire image.
Going to be a lot of very unhappy campers here in Japan when they get their upgraded iPhone.
Seriously waiting for a Google Maps App... actually the Maps App from Yahoo is ok, not great and flakey with wrong dorection etc but 1000% better than the rubbish Apple is releasing in Japan.
