    That's 5 EggMap 'bargains' in the last 25 days.

    • I agree, getting sick of seeing these to be honest lol taking up good bargain space

    • I agree… I guess the only good thing is that they technically made it a deal to advertise this app.

    • Seriously, you're complaining? Too many bargains?

      I don't understand you, but I hear you. No more bargains for at least a month after today.

    Should be a permanent Free app haha

  • free again !! yayy
    this is eggstraordinary

    :p

  • Haha I promise not to make it free again for another month!

    • I'm guessing it will be free for the Easter long weekend?

  • Still show up as 99cents?

    • It shows up as free in the Australian app store. If you are using an international app store, you'll have to either:

      • switch app stores to the Australian one; or
      • wait until it is Thursday in your app store's time zone.

    Thanks for the map, nice job. If it has voice navigation, it will be even better.

    • You're welcome. Unfortunately, I doubt it will ever have voice nav (or I believe it would contravene Google's licensing terms).

  • I have not tried it yet but eggsactly how is this different from the normal google maps app? Is it just a nicer UI?

  • To see the difference visually, have a look at these two images. They are both unedited screenshots from the same iPad, looking at the exact same map area.

    The first is google maps for iPhone (the official app) running on the iPad using pixel-doubling. http://imgur.com/ilBAjg0

    The second is EggMaps HD. http://imgur.com/J62mf46

    You can see how much more detail is visible in EggMaps HD, and how it makes better use of the available screen area.

    The UI of EggMaps HD has also been carefully designed to make the most frequent tasks much faster and easier. That is the other main point of difference.
