A good number of news come to the application Google Maps, one of the most interesting of the Mountain View company both for the amount of maps it offers and for the use as a navigator (turn by turn) that it includes. On the one hand, it has been known that there is a trial version in the Play Store in which it is possible to register. And, in addition, that the first download, version 9.27, it is already possible to install it manually.
In the first case, in the trial version, in the store Play Store for Android a place has been enabled (link) in which it is possible to register and download what is necessary to test the news that is being worked on to improve Google Maps. That is, it works in a similar way to WhatsApp.
What is sought is to know with the use by the testers if the implementations are valid for both usability and stability. This, on the one hand, has the positive aspect of know the new inclusions before the arrival to the official version, but on the contrary, if one of them does not work properly, the resulting instability will be "tested". The fact is that simply using the link indicated above and giving your Gmail username -if requested-, you will receive a confirmation email to start using the beta of Google Maps.
The first trial version
Well yes, you have not had to wait long to have the first download available, which is the version 9.27 from Google Maps. One of the most interesting news that is included is the arrival of new notifications to the development, some of them specific for the moment in which the turn-by-turn navigation option is being used (those that encourage the evaluation of a place that is visited to give more use to Local Guides).
Besides, the development charging time is also improved in smart watches with A, where the home screen that is displayed takes less time to remove and in addition, the logo varies for a more complex and attractive one. This, perhaps, is a sign that the "splash screen" for phones and tablets will also receive this change.
If you want to know the trial version with a manual installation of Google Maps, in this link you can get the corresponding APK which is installed on a regular basis if you use this type of file (enabling Unknown Sources and following the steps that appear on the screen).
