Windows Phone’s Here Maps app (recently sold by Nokia to a consortium of German car manufacturers) has its fans, but if you’d prefer to use Google Maps you can install an unofficialversion called gMaps (bit.ly/gMap). This offers many of the same features as the ‘real’ Google Maps, including turn-by-turn directions for driving, walking, cycling and public transport; nearby attractions and amenities; and traffic information. The basic version of gMaps is free, but if you want the full set of features including, impressively, Street View and to remove theads, you can buy gMaps Pro for £1.89. (bit.ly/gmappro).
