I guess no one has has the street view data other than Google. It doesn't make sense for apple to wait to collect the same amout of street view data from a non-google source before thay can bring changes to the map app - especially since Google street view is available via 3rd party app. Disclaimer: I am absolutely no relationship with the maker of the streetview app.

What I did was :
1. Make sure I was on itunes 10..6.3.25
2. Dowloaded 5.1.1 from the link
3. Connected my phone to itunes
4. Held the shift key down and then pressed 'update'
5. Found the 5.1.1 download and clicked open.
6. Then let it do its work.
7. I then had to restore my phone from the back up I made before I upgraded to 6. It offered icloud or computer and I chose computer.
8. just let it run - it then asked me for a new passcode and then went on to download all my apps/music/photos etc.
I am now back with google maps working as well as youtube. Everything is as it was
Hope this helps but don't blame me if you have problems - maybe I have been lucky.

Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.

MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

Waze is another very well reviewed app.

If you want a YouTube app, Google has made a very improved version available on the App Store.

If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.

Come on Apple....what are you doing?????


I'm in real estate...my whole team depends on street view....now it's gone...


Please tell me that someone consulted a customer advisory panel before getting rid of a key feature.....is it because Google has better mapping technology??? Well, it does, so let them be....


So next time Apple, take a customer pole/vote....because it us the consumer that has made your stock price what it is today, so let us have a voice please.


If you don't get this fixed, I will have no choice but to buy Google products so I can be successful in my business.
