What is G Maps? I have never heard of it, and can't imagine that name would fly without lawsuits from Google, unless it was a rebranding of one of their products. When I search, all it comes up with are frontends for Google maps.

Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

I believe that Gmaps is some sort of value added program that offers certain utilities, but still depends on the google map database.

If the OP asks a more specific question about one or more of the Gmap features then we might be able to answer.
