This New Yorker is pretty pissed about iOS 6 maps

Living in Brooklyn, this is a complete and total dealbreaker for me. It's not that I can't get around NY; of course I can. The problem, like many others have said, is the desire to have the shortest possible route to your destination so you're not sitting at a bus stop or subway for 15-20 minutes.

If you're looking for the shortest possible route, then you shouldn't be using Google maps anyway. I've stopped using it completely. In 100% of my tests, HopStop has given me the faster and more direct route, with less walking and less transfers. I've posted an example in this thread:

Once HopStop is updated to integrate into iOS 6 maps, we will have a much better solution than is currently available.
 
Does this new maps app let you locate names of places like google maps? Like can i type in Outback Steakhouse or a name of a bank and it'll find the closest one near me? Or do you have to type in the actual address of everything?
 
Haven't Google already confirmed there is going to be an appstore app? I don't see the big deal, if people don't like Apple Maps they can just carry on using Google, or am I missing something?
