Every Android device ships with a built-in navigation app called Google Maps. Google backs Google Maps, and it provides more features than any other navigation app. Similarly, Windows 11 also ships with a Maps app backed by Microsoft, which lets you search for locations, get directions, see the point of interest, and more.
Although the Maps app of Windows 11 offers some really good features like saving offline maps, saving favorite places, creating collections of places, and more, people still look for ways to run Google Maps on their PC.
While you can access the Google Maps via any web browser on Windows PC, wouldn’t it be better if we had a dedicated Google Maps app on our desktop? If you add Google Maps as an app on Windows 11, you no longer need to open the web browser and head to the maps.google.com address every time you want to search for a location.

Every time you need to access the Google Maps, open the Windows 11 Start menu and select the Google Maps app. Below, we have shared the two best ways to download Google Maps for Windows 11. Let’s get started.
