'Low-res' in several respects: in many places, the new maps don't zoom in as closely before pixelating, like Google was circa 5 years ago; also, some streets are simply missing, and many buildings/places are not labeled as in Google Maps. Search is completely unreliable. Earlier this morning, I searched for Smith Point, TX (MapQuest found it across Galveston Bay from Houston). The new Maps app gave me two pins for Ivan Smith Furniture, near Dallas. It would be funny, if it weren't so pathetic.
Yikes! I can edit this post, but the IPF app won't ungray the Send button for a new reply. Anyway, I did find an unexpected improvement: opening the Camera Roll jumps to the last image now, which is usually the one I want.

Honestly, Maps is exactly what I expected it to be considering its Apple's first attempt at a map app that competes with Google Maps. It's brand spanking new so I don't expect top notch performance out of the gate. I'm sure it'll get better with time.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Google come out with a maps app for us.

mine worked fine, however I'm disappointed with apples map.

Yes, the Map app is worse than before. There are no rails in Helsinki Railway station, for example. One Norwegian town is in the middle of the North Sea... There are others surely.

so noob question, should I upgrade? I jsut got this iPad and was clicking though settings last night and it downloaded the iOS 6 last night, but I didn't install it because I was downloading videos too, should I install it? I am soo new to the iPad that I wouldn't know what I lost or gained with this, and just bought the thing Wednesday night (less than 2 days ago), I cannot believe there is an OS update that was not applied, should I just install this and go on with life?

Now I'm just getting used to IOS 6 it seems fine, one or two glitches which I am sure will be sorted by Apple. It would be useful tho' to have some sort of definitive guide. I couldn't find Siri installed then it suddenly appeared. I am then told you have to hold the home button down to start it. Alright for people who already know such things but it would make life easier to be informed somehow. Also on first kick starting IOS 6 you are taken to a Wi-Fi select screen and an annoying box keeps popping up. I am later told to just tap the 'next' button and to ignore it! Very confusing but now things have settled down I am beginning to enjoy it.
-
When I did my update, the iPad restarted and in the process of doing so, asked me if I wanted to activate Siri. When I said yes, it then explained how to use it.

Glad it is working for you now!
