This is a great find, but the app needs improvement.
one problem i find very annoying is that if your connection stays dormant for too long or dies, while doing a search, the only option you are given is to exit the program.
if i am in an area that has very low signal strength and takes a while to kick out of dormant mode, i don't want Google Maps thinking i lost internet access altogether. There should be an option to try again (sadly there isn't).

In times when you are desperate for directions, this app can either save you or get you really frustrated
