The Apple Maps app is still getting some negative press. I read where a police department in a community in Australia was asking citizens not to use the Apple Maps app since people were getting so lost and needed rescuing. Apple has since fixed this issue, but this was reported just in the last couple of days.
With other free navigation options, like Google Maps, MapQuest and so on, I'm not sure why the Apple Maps issues would keep anyone from upgrading.
