Maybe this will help: How to Use Siri with Google Maps Without an iOS 6 Jailbreak

I haven't tried it, so don't know whether it works.

I loaded the iPhone Google Maps app on iPad, thought it looked like crap, so I've still not updated to iOS 6 and am continuing to use iOS 5.1.1 and the old Google maps app. I left my iPad 4 at home and have brought iPad 2 on the road specifically so I could access the old maps app. I won't update till there's an iPad version.

Works. Not just with Google Maps. It gives you a list of installed map apps (and others from the App Store for some reason). You chose the one you want. Given the number of steps, it's quite a bit slower than using Apple's Maps, of course.

Yes, doesn't seem like something I'd want to bother with, but that's why I'm still using iOS 5.1.1 on iPad 2 -- still rocking Google maps the old-school way, lol.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there. That said, my wife's iphone4s now looks like a good candidate for ios6 with this new released google map app!!

Oh, how true - too late, I just looked up the app on my iPad (after upgrading to ios 6) only to find that the app appears under the "iPhone apps" type. Oh well, I got it installed now, just have to view it in iPhone mode. I guess an iPad app won't be in store for some time to come judging by the time it takes Google to release their YT app for the iPad...

Btw I don't mean to dilute the thread topic but after ugrading my iPod Touch to iOS 6, all apps (this is any app I run on the device) will close [due to low memory I presume?] after a minute or so.After I leave my iPod overnight, I will find it out of battery and turned off the next morning - something never seen before (!).

I made sure that iCloud backup is turned off. I also make sure that all apps processes are not running in the background. I restarted the device. No solution so far. Guess, I shouldn't have upgraded only for the sake of having Google's official Maps app...
