    Has anyone tried the GM yet? Are the maps any better than the beta?

    They're still utterly rubbish. There is no awareness of any rural locations - i.e. no townlands at all! No villages listed either. Terrible! :(

    The only difference I've noticed is that the colour surrounds on the labels of roads in Ireland is now coordinated with the national system - i.e. green around 'N11', blue around 'M9', etc.

    Hopefully a lot will change by next week but probably not

    Google Maps should get a release in he coming weeks. Apple removing both YouTube and Google Maps, and Google releasing their updated versions is like an extra feature of iOS 6 for me :D

    I've found that they've added a lot more street/business detail in the GM build compared to the Beta 4 build. At least here in Galway, all the walking streets in the city centre are now populated with seemingly up-to-date listings. Ireland have also started to see the 3D maps with Dublin now being in 3D.

    Agreed, don't know why people panicked. Once there's a Google maps app available then there's no change.

    I'd say the Apple Maps will get better with time.

    So let them compete and improve each other. Consumer wins.

    Dublin is not in 3D. It just has the building outlines. Also while looking I spotted that Dublin Zoo is now in Exchequer Street - makes it closer for tourists to visit I guess! ;)

    Admittedly it's just the city centre areas but Dublin is in full 3D in the satellite view, this is notably only available on 4S/5 and iPad(3rd) though I believe.

    Actually sorry, you're right, I forgot to switch to hybrid or satellite view!
