Google is bringing new version of Google Maps app for Android that adds gallery view for photos, car rental bookings and more to the interface.
The Google Maps app for Android version 9.10 is not yet available on Google Play India, but the folks over APK Mirror (via Android Police) have published the Google-signed apk for sideload.

Tapping on any image opens the old viewer, but here’s a slight design change and has added two shortcut buttons to add photos and report/ flag inappropriate photo directly with a tap.

Also, Google has refreshed ‘Your Places’ screen design with shortcut to published Photos. Apart from redesigned navigation screen, there are new buttons contain a count of reviews, ratings and photos.
