Problems with Maps in ios 6.

I have an iPhone 5. I never had problems with the map app, not that I used it much. But where I did use it was while walking around in downtown San Francisco. I loved the 3D views I could get. I could rotate around buildings and look at all sides. It was great. I had been there 3 times and was using the 3D maps to great advantage. Then today I went and 3D wasn't working. Sure I could tilt the surface, but I was tilting a 2D view. I could not rotate around a building and see all sides. It seems like they have taken something away that (at least in San Francisco) was working well. Note that the 3D that did work only worked in major cities. It didn't work in my home town of Benicia (30 miles from San Francisco). Anyway, I think in their attempt to "fix" the problems with maps, they've removed the 3D feature. I hope that's just temporary and that they'll get it back at some point.

My 3D was not removed. Did you update to iOS 6.1.3 ?

Yes, I was and am on IOS 6.1.3 . Could it be that the 3D of San Francisco is missing? I just checked. Indeed, 3D works fine for New York city and Los Angeles, but not for San Francisco. It used to work great for San Francisco and was a big help. I wonder what happened.

San Francisco works for me. Strange.

That made me check again. Lo and behold, this morning San Francisco is in 3D again! Very strange. Now I'll have to watch if this is something that goes on and off again or if it was a one-time issue that (somehow) came clear.

Is anyone having a problem with Apple maps in a city like Paris, where I currently live? I've written to them but... A major feature of the maps must be the location of Metro stations - it's essential for tourists particularly but even locals. Yet they don't even include the major destination of Opera on their map. And it's the case with at least five others which are not included. How long does it take?
