Does anyone know the magic steps to Remind Me When I Leave Home?
I cannot get the Reminders for Location to work. Is this due to Apple's braindead maps?

Yeah, pretty sure its the new maps.
what do you not get exactly? you need to set the options in reminder with geolocation and have the gps on. it will then setup a geo-fence with the non-filled arrow icon in the status bar. do you do all this and it still doesnt work?
Honestly, I think the iPhone 5 was ready, but the iOS 6 wasn’t, but they had to ship the iPhone so they just crammed a beta iOS 6 into it so they could sell it. It's biting them on the a'ss.

My maps has a blue dot that moves with me (along through the houses rather than the road), so I am sure GPS is "working"
Geo-fence? Status bar arrow? what are you talking about?
I set a reminder for when I leave my home address, and the reminder never happens. I think this is because Apple thinks my home address is somewhere else, and I am not "in it" to begin with, so can't leave it. Duhhhhh...
I never had a problem with iOS5 and Google-maps-data, so it must be the Apple braindamaged maps.
I used to work for Nokia maps in a joint venture, and maps are VERY hard to do well. Apple arrogance there, I suspect.
its a feature in ios 6 (maybe 5 too?) where the phone can automatically remind me when you enter to leave a location by creating a "geo-fence" in an area. like you a want a reminder : "call xyz when i leave home" - so it will do that. google geo-fence ios6 and you will get the info.
it shows the geo-fence is active by changing the regular location based arrow in the top status bar to a hollow arrow. read the description in settings/privacy/location services... and scroll all the way down.
