gMaps Pro for Windows Phone was recently re-introduced to the Marketplace. Due to gMaps Pro being re-introduced to the Marketplace, previous versions aren't eligible for future updates. To help those who will need to re-purchase gMaps Pro, the developer offered it as a free app this past Friday. I managed to miss that day but as the app looked so good I parted with my money and made the purchase.
As I have been so impressed I thought the app was worthy of a video demonstration or walk through to give everyone a feel for the app. As you can see there are some great features built into the application and it looks good too. Features include:
- Discover places or use local search
- See your friends and share location with Google Latitude
- Navigation with direction and rerouting
- Multilingual. Supports more than 40 Google languages. Fully localized for 8 languages
- Layers Weather, Bikes and all other maps
- Share map by email/message
The latest update, version 1.23, includes 'street view' which seems to work pretty well.
Although Bing search on Windows Phone does a similar job I much prefer gMaps Pro. There is a free version of gMaps available but it is ad supported, which may not appeal to everyone. The gMaps Pro version is currently running $1.99 and a worthy purchase if you ask us.
You can find the free, ad-supported version of gMaps here and the ad-free version of gMaps Pro here (has a trial version) at the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Review: Hitman 3 is a must-own, but only if you own the previous games
Hitman 3 is the thrilling conclusion to the World of Assassination trilogy and builds upon the previous Hitman releases to perfection. The game features some excellent missions, but unfortunately, is an uneven package, and feels incomplete without the previous entries in the series.
