Maps
Maps has changed with the iOS6 update. Please keep in mind that Maps is no longer Google Maps it is Apple Maps. You can still do the SAME features and now you have turn by turn voice directions with SIRI.
There are options to download Google Maps and Google is presently working on getting an APP approved by Apple to get back on the iPhone. Search Google Maps in the store or check out this site: http://www.tuaw.com/2012/10/19/put-google-maps-back-on-your-iphone-with-maps/
