I updated and I am really liking it. My battery is not lasting any less. It may actually be lasting a little longer. The maps are not that big of an issue to me. They show me where I am at and where I want to be, so that is all that I want.

Update it...it's fine. Maps not nearly as good. Be sure to go back and turn OFF your location features. IOS 6 will automatically turn them on, and yes drain your battery. No big deal after you turn 'em off. People like to whine about iPhone, but love it or ate it, it is still the metric by which all other smart phones are measured.

I have read that if you are having battery issues with iOS6 to let the battery completely drain down until it shuts off then to fully charge it before unplugging it. And that it may be necessary to do this 2 or 3 times. This supposedly recalibrates the estimated battery % remaining. And I haven't updated my iPhone 4 yet because of all the suckage I'm hearing about the maps. It is something I use a lot. Can anyone that has upgraded comfirm that you can reinstall the Google Maps app?

If you leave the "location services" button "ON" then you use the "find my phone" feature in Itunes to find your phone if you ever lose it. You can go into the location services menu and turn off individual components. We've found 5 phones people thought they'd lost just by using that. If you turn it off it's a no go.
