Yes, I had to send my iPhone 5 in for repairs. I was lent an iPhone 4 whilst my 5 was away. I got a little lost after leaving the shop and loaded Maps because I did not have my normal set of GPS apps. I was very impressed by Maps and am no longer using Ariadne because Maps gives me more information, and speaks it automatically. When tracking with headings is on, Maps even announces nearby POI and sometimes announces the upcoming cross street. And when tracking is on, but not with headings, I can easily explore the surrounding area.
Eventually I will try route planning. At this point, my preferred navigation apps are TomTom and Apple Maps.
