Security & authenticity
Signing certificate
- Certificate with Google's generic name Google Play App Signing gives the keys it manages this name, but anyone can put it in a certificate, so this alone proves nothing.
- Other versions use a different certificate v10.63.6 and v10.36.5. Android normally won't update an installed app with a file signed by another certificate, and a new certificate can mean a different publisher. v10.63.6 · v10.36.5

Google Maps APK: questions and answers
Is there a version of Google Maps for older Android phones?
The current version needs Android 6.0 or later. Version 10.63.6 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 5.0 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 10.63.6 · All versions
Does Google Maps need Google Play services?
Yes. The APK declares Google Play services as required, so it may not work on phones without them, such as recent Huawei models.
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the Google Maps APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. Some other versions are signed with a different certificate. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 1a8edd0cdc6f1e15c3797e33db140bbd.
