    Finally! It didn't have sense already a long time for this to be standalone.

    I'm looking for a replacement for Google Maps. I hate it that the red pin will disappear once you zoom in and that there is no ability to always display maps in 3D mode. And satellite pics are often outdated, it might show you info from 5 years ago. They truly dropped the ball when it comes to Google Maps on desktops.
