Apple maps very disappointing

Having just downloaded iOS 6 I am hugely disappointed with apple maps. In the UK many town names are wrong, with some missing; roads are all the same colour; satellite image resolution is not as good as it was previously. Sure, the 3D map in London is good but it only covers an area a few square miles, so is currently more of a gimmick.

So questions i have...

1) Are others experiencing the same?

2) Will it get better and if so how quickly?

3) Will there be a google maps app released soon?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6

Even though you thingk that Maps in IOS5 is as the same as Google maps, no, it's not. This is theory, not practice… there is any map with the same quality as Maps from IOS5.

Maps under iOS 5 used Google's mapping database. So yes, it was functionally the same as Google maps.

You are not talking to Apple. This is a user forum. I'd think you would research things a bit if it was so important to you that you based the decision to purchase a car on it...
