This is why I like android :-)

Haven't updated mine, so maps are fine

saying that though i think i read that there is a way of putting the old ios5 maps onto an ios6 iPhone

No need. The new maps are miles better and I use them all the time. I discovered loads and loads of faults with the old google maps (mainly the search never working properly). Only reason why everyone's saying its shit is because you get all the android bumboys that seem obsessive with picking faults just to make them selfs feel better (namely, 4waydildo) when it's the google software that was mostly riddled with faults!
