How To: Reinstall the Google Maps App on iOS 6 (And Your New iPhone 5)

For those of you still waiting for the new iPhone 5, you may be a little annoyed when you start using the new Maps application. If you're one of the many Apple users that has already updated your current iPhone to iOS 6, then you're probably already missing Google Maps.

You should still be able get used to it in no time. You'll be happy you did, since Google is a lot better at finding what you're looking for.It has been unofficially confirmed that Google will be releasing a native Google Maps app for iOS soon, so this should hold you over until then.Update: If the only feature you're missing is google's location-based searching, the same functionality is baked into the Google Earth app, which you can download here.
