iOS6 upgrade: Maps -do not work- in India.

I cannot get the iOS6 maps to work in India. Has anyone else got through those?

I'm amazed/apalled that Apple would do such a thing. It is one thing to not have the bells and whistles (flyover, 3d, and all that) working internationally, but to take away the entire maps utility from my phone (that worked perfectly well in the last version) in an upgrade is completely unacceptable.

Please, fix this.
