It was only a couple of weeks ago that we brought you a video overview of gMaps Pro for Windows Phone. The popular app has now received an update bringing a few welcomed feature improvements.
- Improved and slick StreetView
- Your places (with favorites, recent and pinned items)
- Latitude as layer on your map
- New localizations: Portuguese, Japanese
- Offline Chinese offset detection

You can download the free (ad supported) version of gMaps here or use the QR code below for the Pro version. I can't stand adverts on my apps!
