The Android parent has created tens of apps that are considered as “must-haves” on all smartphones, but if we had to pick one as the best, then we would go with Google Maps. The reason behind this is that Google Maps makes everyone’s lives easier by providing them with access to the fastest and safest navigation routes.
Nonetheless, the reason why Google Maps is making headlines on our website today is because it has just received a new update. The update sports the 10.46.1 version number and it is now rolling out via OTA (over the air) channels. Let’s go ahead and check out everything there is to know about it.

Thanks to this, all Google Maps fans who use an Android-powered smartphone are eligible to get the update and all the improvements that it introduces. There is also an alternative way to manually download and install the update in the form of APK (Android Package Kit). Although, we have to warn everyone that installing APKs is tricky.
What’s New?
