This year’s Google I/O Conference was quite full of surprises, including the new Google Edition Galaxy S4, Chromium notebooks, redesigned Google+ and Hangouts, Google Play Music All access and what not. Though the limelight of the show remained the next generation of Google Maps, which the search engine company revealed to a huge ovation from the lucky attendees. Google Maps was shown as a complete overhaul with a staggering new design and impressive features. While the web interface has been live for a several weeks, the Android version has also now found its way to Google Play.
Google will start rolling out the update soon. Though if you just can’t wait to get your hands on it, the folks at Android Police have gotten hold of the APK files of different variants of the app. The current APK files only support Android 4.1+ and 4.2. Download links for both versions have been added below.
Download Google Maps 7 for Android 4.2
Bonus: How to Save/Cache Offline Map Areas in Google Maps 7 for Android
Open the map you want to save, zoom in or out as per your requirements and when it’s loaded fully, tap the search bar. Next, enter ‘Okay maps’ or ‘Ok maps’ in the search bar. Ignore all suggestions that the app gives you and just tap the search button. You will return to the main interface of the app, where a notification will tell you that the map has been cached – that’s it!
