Hello everyone,
I am also having the same problem. I upgraded to iOS 6 a while ago. Most of the new features anyway dont work on iPhone 4, and on top of it many features wont work in India, even if I had an iPhone 5 (Thats another annoying problem - if Apple can focus so much on China, why not India?), and found out that the Apple Maps cant show me directions. That is the one major reason why most of us used the Google Maps on iOS - to find directions! I cant believe that Apple is not calling a basic feature like this a "Standard Maps feature".
As per this website (http://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/#maps-directions) even countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, Namibia, etc have Directions supported, but not India !!!
I definitely want to have iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, due to some useful features like Facebook integration, Do Not Disturb, etc, but have not found an alternative yet, for Apple Maps.
Guys have you found any alternatives for iOS 6 Apple Maps (without downgrading to iOS 5)
Apple, please fix this; I am an ardent Apple fan, and am also planning to buy iPhone 5 in the coming weeks.
