IPhone iOS6 ditches google maps and with it streetview!! Grr
-
maps is glitchy, but worked fine for me on a trip to boston last week. i never used turn by turn on google maps on the phone (it didn't exist) - so i've been using map quest (free). apple maps worked well on turn by turn for the entire trip.
yes, there are holes in the data, the graphics, and etc. hopefully this will get better with time.
google has had an 8 year start on this.i don't regret updating, as you can google maps in safari (and put an app button on your homescreen). you can also try nokia maps via the web as well.
the panorama is really nice. hdr has been on my 4S since purchase. i don't use it at all.

That is one of the most unpleasant photos I've ever seen, I'm also quite sure you're a very nice chap despite what a large portion of my brain keeps calling you
In any case, it appears you were holding your phone upside down, I've corrected it for the rest of us......
With regard to the maps, the app enables you to inform Apple of errors, have a look at this article, I went through a few things last night moving the pins around for bad locations, closed businesses etc. Its quite good.

Pinch is zoom.
Rotate 2 fingers is spin
Slide 2 fingers is tilt.
