You can't.

As above, there are dozens of apps that display Google Maps. The only thing you won't get is Street View.

Give it a week and they'll be step by step instructions on the web.

Fiver says no there won't.
what makes you so certain?
If you paid for the SDK you could install and uninstall iOS6 Betas on up to something like 200 phones, so I don't see how it's going to be so hard to uninstall it esp with a Jailbreak.
If anyone can do it Apple can as to get decent maps it needs the one thing Apple have in spades. Money.
I don't think they have spent much money on this.
I hate apple products and apple fanbwoys, but looking at this http://theamazingios6maps.tumblr.com/ genuinely makes me want to get one, for sheer entertainment.
For those missing You Tube, the mobile version of their site is much better than the native (or not so native anymore) iOS map. I gave up on the iOS app ages ago.
Glad I started this thread now; I can let you lot upgrade and tell us all how good/bad it is. 😀
Cant you just flash it back to the original OS?
I hate apple products
Wow - that's a pretty strong emotion to harbour over a phone / MP3 player / computer. Your life must be wonderful.

Nothing worse than a reverse fanboy.
So........... give me one [u]good[/u] reason to go iOS6 on a 4s
Can't see any reason to update, I presume all will stay as it is, and wont lose any functionality?
Just been looking at that tumblr.
This misplacing/misnaming of POIs, landmarks and even entire cities is pretty unforgivable really. 😕
But the 3D stuff, well it's pretty funny, but mainly just a product of how it is created (multiple photos from different directions automatically analysed to try and guess the 3D structure). it's fairly new tech and it is bound to get some bits wrong.
So........... give me one good reason to go iOS6 on a 4s
Read the new features and see if anything appeals?

You can stay on ios 5. Everything will still work, though some apps may choose not to support some features (e.g. they may only offer Facebook login/sharing on ios 6)
what makes you so certain?
Sorry if I was a bit abrupt previously. Unfortunately [url= http://blog.chpwn.com/post/19662817128 ]it has been this way for a while now.[/url]
If anything, those who want to downgrade will want to do it now...although it may be too late. The reason for this is every firmware upgrade has to be approved and signed for by Apple's authentication servers. If you are are on iOS 6 and they have stopped signing iOS 5.1.1. then it will not let you proceed unless you have saved the [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHSH_blob ]SHSH blobs[/url] for 5.1.1 via Cydia, [url= http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.co.uk ]Tiny Umbrella [/url]or iSHSHit, the first and last require being JB'ed. The reason people could downgrade painlessly from the iOS 6 beta, was that 5.1.1 was still being signed by Apple.
If Apple is still signing 5.1.1, which will cease very shortly, then people should be able to downgrade NOW, by following the [url= http://osxdaily.com/2012/06/18/downgrade-ios-6-beta-to-ios-5/ ]same instructions (use shift instead of option key if you're on windows)[/url] as for downgrading from the iOS 6 beta.*
*All this is at users risk etc etc.
@Jamie nobody is laughing at you guys. We are laughing with you, you just can't find us......IGMC
I'm not upgrading, so I can find you just fine. In fact I'm watching you get your coat right now...
All over Twitter this morning,
Yeah, but so is Justin Bieber 8)

Just used the podcasts app for the first time this morning.
Really a big improvement on listening via itunes.
Previously you had to either sync with itunes on pc or mac to get subscribed feeds, or get them manually with the phone. There are 4 I listen to each week whilst commuting- and every weekend I would have to make a point of downloading the new ones, if I missed one due to hols it wouldn't be available to download the following week.
With the new app you can subscribe on the phone, download automatically and choose which ones to keep- all, unplayed, newest etc. Big improvement for me and will save me a little job at the weekends

[url= http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/downcast/id393858566?mt=8 ]Downcast[/url] knocks the Podcast app into the sun.
Podcast app was available as a download in iOS5, so not a reason to upgrade I'm afraid.

Was it, oh well. I don't tend to go looking for apps much. Better if it just works from the outset.
Having had a faff with the new maps I don't think it's really that bad. OK, no street view, but I never used that anyway ( 😳 ) and the sateelite stuff is crp, but the basic mapping seems fine to me. Ho Hum.. maybe I'm easily pleased? 🙂
Just set mine up - great bit of kit is my in depth review! Anyone know of any decent cases knocking about?

Really? I'd say this can all only be described as really quite sad, so much hysteria over a slight update/downgrade to a mobile phone, I mean, look at it, something is wrong with the world. Apologies if you are one of those in the picture

No Streetview, not upgrading... Love Streetview, use it all the time.
Bigjim....the pictures of Apple employees clapping customers entering the shop and the crowd cheering people leaving with the phone are pitiful.
It is now a fashion accessory for try-hards unfortunately, shame as its quite a good phone.
In one survey I read that 20% of those surveyed felt that owning the new iPhone would improve their social standing...Jesus wept, there really are some sad and vacuous people around.
Just been playing with the Live Street View app. Might be another useful solution for those missing it.

That is utterly, utterly stupid of them.
For everyone who is bemoaning the loss of Google Maps in iOS6, there's a startlingly simple answer;
Tap maps.google.com into your browser, then tap the little box with an arrow and save to your homepage.
Et voila, Google Maps.
Countzero, I have done this. When you open Gmaps it states that it doesn't have permission to use your location . Can't allow it in the Settings as its not an app , only a shortcut .
Just fixed it 🙂 don't miss street view much to be honest.
How to you get to street view on google maps?

If only someone had[url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/ios-6-no-more-street-view-booo/page/3?replies=171#post-4192609 ] posted[/url] that a few days ago, sadly it doesn't allow street view.
No matter as Google is releasing their app before Xmas.

Answered earlier in the thread. Press the little orange man.
I don't see a little orange man where I should see on. I have used google maps before you know but when I view on my iPhone there's no wee orange man.

This might be because there is no street view data for that location
I don't see one either and yes there's street view for it, there's hardly any places that don't.
