With Nokia Maps becoming
more and more a part of Bing Maps, having Google Maps on your Windows
Pone device isn't really all that necessary, but some people just prefer
Google, and for those people, there is gMaps Pro. It has always been
the best Google Maps experience for WP, and now it's even better.
gMaps
Pro has just been updated with two great new features: public transit
information and directions, and vastly improved navigation. The public
transit options are just what you'd expect, but the big deal is
navigation, which gMaps puts under the heading "Driver Mode".
The
new features in Driver Mode include alternate routes, and improvements
with a separate speed indicator, start/stop/reroute buttons, partially
visible route line fix, reset speed if stopped, and a feature to
automatically stop navigation if destination reached.
The
goods don't stop there either. The update also adds zooming out with
two-finger tap, and a new compass engine. Not a bad update.
gMaps Pro is available for $1.99 in the Windows Phone Marketplace, and of course you can test out a trial first if you want.
