not sure it has changed thats why im asking

Yes, it has indeed changed from pre-iOS 6. And yes, many have noticed. It changed when Apple removed the pre-installed Google-based Maps.app and replaced it with their own mapping "solution" in iOS 6.

Below are both side-by-side for your review.

Changed with a recent iOS update like 6.0.1 or with some other update? Or are you comparing it to what the icon was like before iOS 6?

Lol Apple's iOS 6 map icon shows the turn-by-turn navigation going off a bridge into a river...
