Don't get too excited, this isn't an about face by Google on the apps front, the oddly named 'Maps App Discovery' is a new UWP app for Windows 10, effectively bringing the basics of Google Maps to Windows 10 Mobile-running smartphones in a full, poilshed UWP app that runs on phone, Continuum and laptop/PC/tablet. So we're talking maps, live traffic, Street View, terrain and so on. But definitely not the routing and navigation functions. There have been Google Maps API clients before for Windows Phone, but I think this is the first to be built for Windows 10 as a UWP app?
