I have been using the built in maps app on the iPhone 5 and have had no trouble. However, if Google Maps remembers where I've been before, this is an attractive feature. One reason I like the built in Maps app is because I can double tap an address in my contacts, and the maps ap comes up with suggested routes. Can Google Maps do this, or will I be asked which app I want to use? Are the spoken directions offered for more than just the iPhone 5? My wife has my old iPhone 4, and I can see her using that feature.
