Access Google user maps / My places / Starred items
With Google ID, get list of maps created by user, and visualize its nodes.
Really useful for them who plan their trips that way, like me do.378 votes -
Create a manageable local cache of the last use map area
By having some limited local cache of the map it reduce the loading time of the map and mobile network usage.
The cache need not be huge perhaps a decent 50mb can be implemented.264 votes -

Unfortunately currently there is no way to integrate accounts with 2 steps authentication. We are continue our our investigation but now it is limitation of gMaps.

Public transit service directions (not only the layer)
Put directions for bus transportation services it is on every Google map application except for this one because its new but it will be useful for people who live in big metropoliation cities like Houston,Texas I used to have a Android phone and for its apps they made it useful for its users and I know Microsoft and its app developers will do the same

This functionality partially implemented at 1.12 Pro. You can find route by public transport with new travel type.

Auto-zoom when navigating
When navigating there should be an auto-zoom feature to zoom, rotate and center the maps so that :
- the current location is shown at the bottom of the screen
- the destinations is shown at the top of the screen
- the auto-zoom is refreshed when current location changes
This would really make navigating easier, with the right zoom to use the maximum of the screen!151 votes -

Smoother scrolling and rendering
especially when search results are listed, or traffic is on, or more stuff is on the screen, the scrolling and rendering of the maps is not smooth. It jumps making the overall user experience not as good...

Store the pics of the route local, so you don't need internet while traveling
By downloading the pics around your route on the moment of entering the route. It won't need internet when on the road. Sounds good to me ;)

Change Live Tile
Current tile is ugly, so I'm not putting gMaps to start screen.
Consider changing tile to at least something similar to Bingle maps or Offline maps. Better if you do it in Metro style.
Thanks.35 votes -
Don't block traffic info with the floating window
I use gMaps a lot for the traffic info. The issue I have is the floating window with my speed is blocking the travel info when I am headed NE. Please doc the speed along the side or have it trail my travel direction.
I love the product, I use it every day going to and from work.
