Google has released a new update to its free iOS Google Maps application that brings with it a number of new features, tweaks and enhancements. You can hide those stuff you don’t need in most maps views.

The updated Maps app isn’t yet rolling out on the Google Play Store, but you can download it from APK Mirror now. However, it does not allow the users to post pins directly in events. On Android, users will now be able to share Maps and toggle a full screen mode which removes unused items, like a search bar. It also gives you the ability to edit any of your geotagged photos from Google Photos, if they’re in the “your places” section of Maps.

One of the most significant change the new version brings is that it will let users hide all unnecessary user interface elements while using the map view.

The new feature, part of Google Maps version 4.8.0, will now make it much easier to send a pin to someone who is on their desktop computer, or who is just too lazy to switch between apps (we all know that person).
