If I asked you to guess the most popular navigation app you’d probably sayGoogle Mapsand you’d be correct. Everyone knowsGoogleMaps is the most popular sat nav app out there and new data shows that something monumental would have to happen if it were to lose that lead.
SurprisinglyAppleMaps is not included in the top ten list. This could be because it’s preloaded on Apple devices and not available onAndroid.
Alternatively, it could be third on the list, which is generically labelled ‘GPS Maps’. This has 1.5 million downloads.
Google Maps and Waze weren’t the only Google brands to feature in the top ten, withAndroid Autoranking fourth with just over 1 million downloads and Google Maps Go in 9th with 532K downloads.

Android Autois Google’s in-car infotainment experience that mirrors your smartphone screen on your car’s dash, while Google Maps Go is a lightweight navigation app for budget and low-powered smartphones.So, with four entries in the top ten, there’s no questioning that Google is killing it when it comes to navigation app popularity. Despite that, the search giant isn’t resting on its laurels, announcing a raft of new updates atGoogle I/Olast week.
These updates included the expansion of eco routing to more countries, a new ‘Immersive View’ feature, and improved mapping in locations that have traditionally been difficult to map, such as India and Africa.
