Yes, I don't like the way labels and markers often appear and disappear again as you zoom or scroll around. At least in beta 4 they fade in and out smoothly, rather than blinking like in previous betas.
Got a tip for us?

Defaults highlighted in ringtone selection list. Nice addition IMO.
Can also change the position of VIP mailbox in Mail.

something tells me this and the bluetooth MAP feature have been driven by the pebble watch
I was going to say exactly the same.
Maps (in Melbourne, Australia) are much better. Heaps more POIs added (in the city, anyway) and the main train station is actually the first result now, when searching the name of it. That said, still missing a few, including the main stadium in the city (MCG, for the Melburnians), but I am a little more confident for the future updates to Maps.
Although, Apple seems to need to work on their input a little bit. For example, on Google Maps, I can input Monash Uni Clayton (my University) and it'll find it. However, on Apple Maps, the same input takes me elsewhere (albeit close to the uni), and requires me to input Monash University Clayton. I may seem picky here, but when driving to an unknown place, and having to type quickly into the search bar, I'd love to minimise character entry as much as possible.

My iPhone 4 on iOS 6 Beta 4 also doesn't fade in upon pressing sleep button. I have tried with and without auto-brightness.
I don't have that shared calendar. How to get that?

Oh I got it.
The 3D data for Copenhagen has definitely been updated in beta 4. A lot of new buildings. Too bad that all the metro constructions in the inner city is visible now
Some buildings and highrises, which were present in 3D in the previous betas are now flat. Probably just temporary..

Not an improvement by Apple, but Spotify have just updated their app to support iOS 6 and radio now works.
I can only see "purchased" under the "updates" tab..

This isn't really an improvement or a new feature of the OS itself, but Spotify just released an update that has iOS 6 compatibility. The radio feature now works PERFECTLY!
Anyone notice that the link in the over-the-air update isn't a clickable link? And when you copy/paste the link is dead?.

That would work, but when people post links on twitter, send me links via IM etc. they won't be using youtube:// it'll be youtube.com/whatever, which opens in Safariand I don't want that, because I use a different account for YouTube than I do with other Google services. (which is what I'm logged into in Safari)
The only thing I can hope for is that Apple leaves those hooks in, and lets Google use them with their own app.
If not, I expect that YouTube will be getting neglected by me. I have the Vimeo app on my device and basically never use it, because links send me to the website rather than opening the app. If they don't open the app, I'm not going to see that my subscriptions have new videos to watch etc. because I rarely ever open the app by itself for no reason.
This also means that I don't have a history to bring up videos I've seen a while ago.
It wouldn't be up to Google, it's up to Apple whether they intercept http://www.youtube.com/ links and send them to the app or treat it as a regular url and send it to Safari.
Just like alternative browsers on iOS don't really stand much of a chance unless Apple actually lets you change the default browser that links open in.
I really wish Apple would let you change default apps, change the search engine in Safari to a custom address, and implement a unified address bar.
Some ISPs automatically redirect your address to Google as a search if the page cannot be found. Safari still only allows for urls in the address bar.
The text in accident or construction alerts is now properly laid out. In beta 3 some of the text overlapped.

hi, might be obvious but what is BT MAP?
That is letting you know which folder the app is in and not that it is a stock app. You just happen to have the app in a folder which the name is the Apple logo
