Whilst the maps part of it leaves a LOT to be desired, I found the navigation (whilst basic) works fine.

Wish I did , every time I get to the m62/a19 junction it tells me to take the 4th exit on to m62, thing is coming from Selby the 4th exit it in to eggbrough not the m62. And that's just the start, I also find it can take forever to realise I've taken the turn it said so have missed the next turn more than once.
Also if you end up off the route it does not recalculate the route it just sits waiting for you to take the next instructions lol

Set Up Push Gmail or Hotmail
If you’re a true email addict, setting up Gmail or Hotmail through the preset “Add Account” dialog isn’t good enough, because it can’t immediately push new messages to the phone. Instead, you can set up these inboxes through Microsoft Exchange, so new emails get pushed right to your iPhone.
To get started, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account… and select Microsoft Exchange. On the next page, enter your full e-mail address, password and whatever inbox name you’d like, then hit “Next.”
More options will appear. Enter “m.google.com” or “m.hotmail.com” in the Server field, leave the Domain field blank, enter your full e-mail address in the Username field, and your password in the Password field. Hit “Next,” and on the next page, deselect Contacts and Calendars unless you want to overwrite your phone’s existing contacts and calendar. Hit “Save,” and you’re good to go.

Ricardo told you on the 5th that the iphone 4 does not do turn by turn. You will need to update to a 4s or 5 if you want satnav using Maps.

It does do step by step but does not do voice or change if you go off route.
Now in my book step by step as you go is the same as turn by turn, and changing after a wrong turn is adaptive.
But I guess I just use different words you you all

My previous post didn't seem clear enough.
I'll try and be clearer, Rob you have an iPhone 4, the iPhone 4 is not capable of voice guided turn by turn navigation using Maps. As your iphone 4 does not have voice guided turn by turn nav, it won't reroute.
Step by step, as you call it, is just a journey planner.
If you want turn by turn satnav that will reroute you would need to buy an app like tomtom.
Ricardoforce has an iPhone 4S which does have voice guided turn by turn and will therefore reroute.

Wifi is fine, it's just cellular. I tried resetting the network settings and I've also turned off/on and it hasn't resolved the issue.

This is now resolved and appears to be an issue with iOS6.0.1 if you are wih o2.
Just in case anyone is having the same issue, the resolution is to go to Settings>Cellular>Cellular Data Network and change the Cellular Data APN from idata.o2.co.uk to mobile.o2.co.uk then restart the phone.
That should sort it.

It happens on all the other O2 networks like Giffgaff and Tesco too. For some reason ios updates mess about with otherwise working apn settings.

It's rather odd because I didn't have any issues when I updated to iOS6.
I remember when I got the phone, I got a text from o@ to say I had to change those settings in order to access the internet so I'm assuming it must be something to do with the way o2 work.
