Hello, everyone. I am having great difficulty understanding how Google Maps works. Might this be because I am using an iPhone 3GS with iOS 5? The Google Maps page on the App Store says my phone and OS meet the system requirements, but it may well be that VoiceOver does better with button labeling if a user has iOS6. All comments welcome.
