“Google Maps Go” is a lightweight version of the “Google Maps” app that retains almost all the basic functionality of the original while significantly reducing the app’s data footprint. A key characteristic is that it runs via “Chrome.”

Notably, the v165.0 update for the Android “Google Maps Go” app only includes the logo change and does not introduce any new features. In fact, this is the first update for the “Google Maps Go” app in two and a half years, since mid-October 2023.
