The Google Maps app joined the 10 billion club last year; a group of apps with more than 10 billion downloads.


We may call this club currently as exclusive; as the Google map service is just the third application to join. Google Play and YouTube had done it before him.


Of course, the fact that the G Maps software comes preloaded on practically all Android handsets accounts for the large amount of downloads. Only gadgets for the Chinese market are an exception. Smartphones using Android Go, which includes a lite version of Google Maps called Maps Go, can also be highlighted.
