5 Alternatives to Maps App for iOS 6
For the most part, I enjoy the maps upgrade in iOS 6, although I was sad to see the end of Google's tied in search.
Without Google, it has happened to me a couple of times that I searched and drove to a place of business, only to find it is closed.
Here are some alternatives you can use to avoid problems and add more tools to your device's mapping ability.
1. Motion X GPS Drive
Developer: Motion X
99 cents
Long before Apple introduced voice turn-by turn directions, I began using this app. It's just about as functional as a Garmin or similar navigation system. There are lots of search options including Bing, Wikipedia, Facebook, contact list, gas stations, address book and more.
Your 99 cents will get you all the features except for Voice and automatic turn by turn. For a yearly subscription around $10 today, you'll get those too.
Click here to get the app
2. Google Search
Developer: Google, Inc.
Free
I have found that the 'voice' option provides a quick way to get directions, much like Siri. Say "Directions to 123 Apple St." and google will quickly find the directions for you. You will be directed to the Google maps web app.
Of course you can also search for the address for the business by searching by typing or voice and inputting the address into regular iOS maps.
Click here to get the app
3. Where
Developer: Where, Inc.
Free
A simple way to search for places of business. Once you find the place, tap "get directions" and you are given the option to open with iOS maps. Also, there's info about the business such as hours and phone number.
Click here to get the app
4. Bing
Developer: Microsoft Corporation
Free
Similar to the Google Search app, this app will allow you to search for a place of business using voice or typing. There are turn by turn directions presented inside the app.

5. Beat the Traffic
Developer: Triangle Software
Free
This app makes it possible to route out alternate paths to your destination. You can choose which major highway you would like to take which is useful for big accidents and other heavy traffic.
