After several weeks of vanishing gMaps Pro has been returned to the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace.

The app has been re-branded after complaints by Google which affected a number of apps in Marketplace.

GMaps took the opportunity to add some features and bug fixes, and report the resulting version 1.23 version is now much more stable.

New is an alpha version of Streetview. gMaps also added China region detection and offset auto correction. They also improved navigation by adding auto rerouting and current step highlighting.

imageUnfortunately because a new app had to be submitted users will not be able to upgrade from an old version to the current version, and most unfortunately users will have to purchase the app all over again. This was a result of a SNAFU from Microsoft’s end, explained in more detail on the team’s Facebook page here.

gMaps Pro is $1.99 and can be found in Marketplace here.
