Kind of normal, after it does the WiFi location, it adds in the GPS as it gets it. |

No. And it may not be available ever.

Will Google release its own Google Maps app for iOS 6 users? The company, in its latest statement, remains unclear.
I asked Google today if we’d be getting a Google Maps app, and if so, when and also if it would include turn-by-turn navigation. Here’s what I was sent back:
We believe Google Maps are the most comprehensive, accurate and easy-to-use maps in the world. Our goal is to make Google Maps available to everyone who wants to use it, regardless of device, browser, or operating system.
Let’s parse the statement. It sounds like Google wants its own app for iOS 6 — hence the “regardless of device” part. But it’s not confirming that this will happen soon or why it’s not already happened.
Is Apple somehow blocking it? If so, Google’s not saying. Is Google holding back for some strange reason? Again, we just don’t know.
Stay tuned.
Google Maps, of course, remains in iOS 6 via the browser. It’s a less convenient way of using it, but it even offers features such as traffic

I'm liking that when you update an app it doesn't automatically kick you out of the app store. That was frustrating to me. |

And finally you can re-order your mail inboxes.
Being able to receive iMessages on an iPad by phone number now makes it finally useful. I never used iMessage on my iPad before today. |

"Suck" doesn't even begin to describe the new Maps. How about Google 1999? How about hard to read? How about imprecise? Google would have your location nailed right to the street number. This piece of crap is no better than a postal code locater. Bah!

A friend of mine worked for DMTI at their head office in Markham. It also included Ordnance Survey map data, so the UK maps probably are good.

Sort of -- its under General -> Usage. One of the options will give you the disk space left and give you the biggest apps hogging it up. You can delete from there.

iOS6 has an undocumented change of behavior that I just love!
With iOS 5 and prior, activating Siri via Bluetooth while listening to the iPod interface in my car worked fine for making calls, but asking Siri to play songs wouldn't work (presumably because the iPod interface was "locked" by the car).
If you asked her what was playing, she'd say "Nothing". If you asked her to play a playlist, she'd say "Now playing playlist ..." but when she clicked off, it'd go back to whatever it was playing before.
With iOS6 this actually works now! My car has a super horrible iPod interface, so being able to use Siri to start playlists / pick albums / etc is a HUGE bonus.
