gMaps

This app was a candidate in the Apptivate.MS semi-finals. See how it did among the other candidates in the Interest group.

gMaps - Windows 8 client application for Google Maps

gMaps allows you to:

  • get directions (car, bicycle, public transit or walk)
  • search for venues using powerful local search
  • voice search support
  • search charms support
  • rotate map straight where you're heading
  • find your location on the map

Directions: You can get directions from/to your location or between two coordinates/addresses. Different travel modes like 'Driving', 'Cycling', 'Walking' or 'Public transit' are supported. When route is built, you can browse route steps or select alternate route

Local search: Search for landmark, venues or stores using powerful local search. You can easily use your voice to search (use microphone button next to the search textbox)

Your position: You can easily find out your current position using 'locate-me' button in the bottom left corner. To use compass integration please tap 'compass' button in the top left corner.

Roadmap: More features are coming to the map:

  • Night map mode support
  • Map and position sharing
  • Latitude support and
  • many many more.

We're working on bringing all gMaps for Windows Phone features to the Windows 8 platform.

Some grammar problems with your description: "When route is built, you can browse route steps or select alternate route" > "When a route is built, you can browse (the)? route steps or select an alternate route"; "(use microphone button next to the search textbox)" > "(use the microphone button next to the search textbox)"; "This is 3-rd party application" > "This is a 3-rd party application"

Good app, but still lacks some features (you should focus on having at least the same one as default's bing maps app does). Anyways, I voted you in my top 3

Is this the same app as gMaps on Windows Phone ?
DreamTeam Mobile Dec 4 '12 at 2:17
Yes, this app has been developed by the same team. It doesn't have all features from WP version but we work hard to deliver them ASAP.

Great app. I like the decently sized and easy to see icon too as i only want to quickly glance at the map while i'm on the move and know where i am!

Nice, because Bing Maps isn't always as good in Belgium.

Great app for those country users where bing map does not have great reach yet.

I like the idea, but the screenshots make the location pointer look really big...can this be changed by the user?
Alex Sorokoletov Nov 15 '12 at 13:49
They're not so big as you think. Now it's not customizable, but this is completely possible.
Ethan Lee Nov 15 '12 at 21:52
OK, will try downloading then. This is a great-looking app otherwise!
