This happens in Google maps, too.
Wait...what!? Apple completely removed Google Maps from all iOS devices? I just noticed that its not in the App Store either. Why are they forcing the user to use their map app (that rhymes)?

My iPad 3 says this will take 4 hours.

Yep. All the time. Maps get out dated. Even digital ones.
A Google Maps App will be available soon no doubt, but in case you haven't noticed, Apple and Google haven't been getting along all that well lately. This change isn't abrupt. Been coming for at least 2-3 years. YouTube is gone now too, although there is already an app for that.
For what it's worth, I'm not finding the new Maps to be as bad as I'd been led to believe. Transit options would be nice though, but there are options there too.
Apple and Google's agreement to provide Maps on iOS expired.
It's not explicit whether it was Apple or Google that made the decision not to renew, but you've got to know Apple was going to do this sooner or later. A Google Maps app is bound to show up on iOS soon enough.
Jeez, you might need to get a new internet provider. Mine was 6 minutes..
Ah just done so, can report problems via the app too but my town has so many errors I won't bother yet. Do like the navigation stuff and the roads are accurate I guess
Yeah, it's very nice. I like how it shows the download status on the update page.

OW YEAH !!!! Siri is now usable! 
I can ask about what is near me and it actually finds it.
To bad not everything is on yelp but he at least its a start.

Impressions:
-Maps is definitely a downgrade, but still usable in my area at least.
-They should have a least have one 'pass' available for Passbook at launch (UK here), worthless right now.
-Music app seems a lot better, especially with iTunes Match. I still get download errors whenever I try to download an uploaded song, but at least it now streams song no problem.

32 mbit should be unough for a stupid upgrade.
I'm sorry but until they provide Google Maps, I'm not updating.
Google Maps is a god send if you live in NYC.

So my update has a little bit left in the bar (OTA) and its been stuck there for a while?
Does it look bad for me?
Nah... just hang in there. Mine did the same on both iPad and iPhone.

MLB.com At Bat has been updated and includes Passbook support for 4 parks.
The old app was an Apple app that used Google information. There never was an actual Google Maps app. I do wonder if Google will hold off releasing one in the hopes that iPhone users will get pissed off at the missing functionality and tarnish Apple's image a bit. But the missed revenue may make that unfeasible.
I seem to be one of the few people who likes the new maps far more. I've been using iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 for the past two weeks, and it's just so much faster and smoother. I hated how janky the old maps app was, and especially how (for some unknown reason) it used to populate traffic from the outside in, meaning that it would show me what was going on ten miles away before loading the traffic right near my location. It also took forever.
The only thing missing for me is the transit maps, which I expect will be going pretty soon.

Don't mess with it. Leave it alone and it will finish up.

Looks like apple has some problems with the load in Germany
It's not just you. It's blazing fast.
Siri is working great! The sports score stuff will really come in handy.
Citi Field...awesome. Too bad we (Mets fan) stink and I probably won't be buying tickets anytime soon
Definitely feels faster.

It'll automatically unjailbreak if you update to iOS 6.

Can someone please tell me why Maps is a downgrade? Turn by turn, people. TURN BY TURN.
Ya, but not brick it or anything right?

That brings up an interesting question. Say you buy four tickets off MLB.com, does just that iPhone with the account get the tickets or can you say push individual tickets to each person assuming they all had an iPhone and Passbook? It would be a nice way to distribute tickets individually to each person. Even great for movies too.
