ChinaV, I'm confused about why Brut Google Maps is better than regular Google Maps... I mean, the regular app caches for offline access and has turn by turn navigation now, so what are we missing?

I just noticed today that Google Maps isn't loading the map tiles on my cell phone here in Beijing, even though I am on a wifi connection. (I don't have a data plan setup yet).

Does anyone have any ideas why that might be?
