gMaps updated, still the best option for Google Maps on WP7
Share:
For those of you on Windows Phone, Bing is your default maps provider, but maybe Bing just doesn't do it for you and you need a more Googlish solution. If so, gMaps is the way to go. gMaps is an unofficial Google Maps app for WP7 that offers a number of nice features.
gMaps offers many of the same options you'd find in Google maps, including:
 |
- layers support so you can have satellite view, simplified map, public transport and even traffic information
- GPS tracking and directions
- Places search with Place pages and geo location data
- Driving mode
- Imperial & metric measurements
- Zoom buttons
And, there are some extra features that not even official versions of Google Maps have, like theme support and the ability to take and share screenshots.
It's definitely a nice app, and there is both a free version and a paid ($1.99) version if you don't want display ads.

Bing does all that you need, but always nice to have options.

I've tried a few google-ish maps. None of them have the one single feature I've been looking for- street view- I really miss that feature from the iPhones maps. However I have found bungle maps is a high quality alternative and the drive on app as well. Both have several layers of bing and Google maps.
