Download and install the latest Google Maps APK 9.11.1 for free

What's new in Google Maps?

We've all been in the position where we've used the browser version of Google Maps on our PCs to carefully plot out directions to a place, only to forget them as soon as we leave the front door. The latest Google Maps Android update has addressed this issue by letting you send directions from your PC to your device.

To use this feature: 

• Ensure you have Google Maps 9.11.0 or above (see below for download instructions).
• Type the name of a destination into Google Maps on your PC, then click the option under your destination to 'Send to Device'. 
• A notification will appear on your device, showing the name of the destination, with options to get directions or navigate to it.

How to download the latest Google Maps APK (9.11.1)

If you don't have access to the Google Play Store, or just want to get the latest Google Maps update before it's released on the Play Store, you can download an APK instead. To get the Google Maps APK:

Install Google Maps (phone method)

• Enable ''Unknown Sources'' by going to Settings > Security on your Android device, then ticking the box next to Unknown sources. 
• Using the browser on your device, go to APK Mirror to download the latest Google Maps APK.
• You may get a message warning that 'this type of file can harm your device.' This is an automatic message which pops up when apps are installed from outside of the Play Store. In this instance, you can ignore it and tap OK.
• Once the Google Maps download is complete, read through new permissions (if any) which the latest Google Maps version requests, then tap Install.

Install Google Maps (computer method)
