Why GMaps+ and Google Maps are same app? And any way to remove beginning message?

[Marco Arrichiello]

I was looking for a good map app on Windows Store. I downloaded these 2 apps: GMaps+ and Google Maps. Why there is same app with 2 different names? It's exactly the same.

And is there any way to remove beginning message "Goodbye Google Maps", that ask you to rate the app with 5 stars and share it with friends.
I rated it 5 stars and shared the app via Facebook, but annoying message still there.

Because they are from the same developer,I think that there are 3-4 identical Google maps apps from the same dev, only icon is different. If you want Google maps, try this http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=7b8bedd5-4368-e011-81d2-78e7d1fa76f8

Already have it. Very basic and essential app. Don't like it so much

Because they are from the same developer,I think that there are 3-4 identical Google maps apps from the same dev, only icon is different. If you want Google maps, try this gMaps | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

Don't know it, thanks. It seems very good. Not so good as GMaps+, but not bad.

There's a gMaps and a GMaps+, from different developers. Not sure which is better.
