Let me preface this by saying that 1) iOS6 is currently in beta 2) I am posting from a Filipino perspective.
Ok so Apple and Google have been going at it for awhile and another salvo in their war is: Apple dropping Google Maps from version 6 of their iOS platform.
Let me show you in five pictures... The first two Google Maps images are a hybrid and map only view of Greenhills. The third image is staples center in 3D, the last two are Greenhills hybrid and map only using Apple's new Map app.
The Google Maps images are from my old palm Treo Pro (yeah, remember those?) because I only have one iOS device and I'm not flashing back to iOS5.
If you do not reside within the US, maps will most likely suck. If you reside in the Philippines you should stick with the map only view because the hybrid view is useless, we never got street view but you will miss that when you are traveling. I might compare navigation as the beta progresses.
