Yes GMaps are pretty decent. I just visited a remote area in Greater Noida a few days ago, had absolutely no idea about the way. just followed the GPS directions. Which WP device BTW? because if it is Nokia, it would have their GPS system which is supposed to be pretty decent.

most people have no idea on how to use GPS. someone I know who has an iPhone 5 didn't even know what GPS is.

so i went to panipat yesterday. a cousin owns the first generation note. and he was talking about how he got lost in gurgaon last time he was here.

showed him google navigation on his phone. he was impressed of course. but i am sure he is not techie enough to remember it next time he gets lost in a city.

yeap. a nephew owns the iphone 5. first question i asked him was whether he had installed google maps on it. his reaction? what do i need it for?

If you are asking just about gMaps (unofficial app for Google Maps on Windows Phone), I would say its pretty good app. Locks to GPS in seconds (if outdoor), but indoors as well in seconds it will show current location. We can also search route to any location from current location. But gMaps doesn't have voice guided navigation or offline navigation.
