It's darn close but not perfect on my 5.
Although when I typed in a POI it actually found what I was looking for, so I say that makes up for being short maybe 1-2FPS (I used to say Apple Maps was reasonably decent until searching for "logan" in Boston and having to try about 15 different search terms before getting the Airport when I was two miles away; Google Maps got it right with "logan boston" while I'm sitting in Palo Alto)

boston logan airport was the second suggestion when finished typing boston logan. logan boston also gave an instant result although i suspect it the earlier search contributed to it.
