London subway (underground) users reportedly were lost without the maps working accurately on their iPhones with iOS6. They were given an option to pick up physical copies of maps in the station to reach their destination without being lost.

The iOS 6 update did take a lot of time for me to update. Apple would have helped the revenues of broadband providers (and telcos) with the increased usage of data this month.
