GMap.NET is one of the best Google Maps download software for Windows 10 that I tested. I’m saying that because next to Google Maps more than a dozen other online maps services are supported, including Mapquest, Bing Maps, Open Street Maps, NearMap and a bunch of others that I haven’t even heard of. Google Maps is available on AndroidAPKsFree since its release on April 19, 2015. Furthermore, the app is available in english. Download APK and open it using your favorite File manager and install by tapping on the file name. If the installation does not start then you need to enable unknown sources from your Android settings.
To use the Maps SDK for Android you must have an API key. The API key is a unique identifier that isused to authenticate requests associated with your project for usage and billing purposes.
Get the API key
You must have at least one API key associated with your project.
To get an API key:
- Visit the Google Cloud Platform Console.
- Click the project drop-down and select or create the project for which you want to add an API key.
- Click the menu button and select APIs & Services > Credentials.
- On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key.
The API key created dialog displays your newly created API key. - Click Close.
The new API key is listed on the Credentials page under API keys.
(Remember to restrict the API key before using it in production.)
Add the API key to your app
Follow the steps below to include the API key in your application's manifest, contained in the file AndroidManifest.xml
.
- In
AndroidManifest.xml
, add the following element as a child of the<application>
element, by inserting it just before the closing</application>
tag:In the
value
attribute, replace YOUR_API_KEY with your API key (the encrypted string). This element sets the keycom.google.android.geo.API_KEY
to the value of your API key. - Save
AndroidManifest.xml
and re-build your application.
Note: As shown above, com.google.android.geo.API_KEY
is the recommended metadata name for the API key. A key with this name can be used to authenticate to multiple Google Maps-based APIs on the Android platform, including the Maps SDK for Android. For backwards compatibility, the API also supports the name com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY
. This legacy name allows authentication to the Android Maps API v2 only. An application can specify only one of the API key metadata names. If both are specified, the API throws an exception.

Restrict the API key
We strongly recommend that you restrict your API key. Restrictions provide added security and helpensure only authorized requests are made with your API key. There are two restrictions. You shouldset both:
- Application restriction: Limits usage of the API key to either websites (HTTP referrers), web servers (IP addresses), or mobile apps (Android apps or iOS apps). You can select only one restriction from this category, based on the platform of the API or SDK (see GMP APIs by Platform).
Note: If you need to call web, web service, and/or mobile APIs from the same (client-side) app, create and restrict multiple keys.
- API restriction: Limits usage of the API key to one or more APIs or SDKs. Requests to an API or SDK associated with the API key will be processed. Requests to an API or SDK not associated with the API key will fail. (The API or SDK must be enabled and must support the application restriction.)
To restrict an API key:
- Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console.
- Click the project drop-down and select the project that contains the API key you want to secure.
- Click the menu button and select APIs & Services > Credentials.
- On the Credentials page, click the name of the API key that you want to secure.
- On the Restrict and rename API key page, set the restrictions:
- Application restrictions
- Select Android apps and follow the instructions.
- Click + Add package name and fingerprint.
- Enter your package name and SHA-1 certificate fingerprint. For example: (For more information, see Where to get your app’s SHA-1 fingerprint).
- API restrictions
- Select Restrict key.
- Click Select APIs and select Maps SDK for Android.
(If the Maps SDK for Android is not listed, you need to enable it.) - Click SAVE.
Premium Plan customers
Follow these steps to get an API key and add restrictions:

- Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console.
- Click the project drop-down and select the project created for you when you purchased the Google Maps Platform Premium Plan. The project name starts with Google Maps APIs for Business or Google Maps for Work or Google Maps.
- Click the menu button and select APIs & Services > Credentials.
- On the Credentials page, click Create credentials > API key.
The API key created dialog displays your newly created API key. - Click Close.
The new API key is listed on the Credentials page under API keys.
(To continue, see Add the API key to your app and Restrict the API key.)
Where to get your app's SHA-1 fingerprint
The Android API key restriction is based on a short form of your app's digital certificate, known as its SHA-1 fingerprint.
Getting the certification information from Android Studio
If you follow the getting started guide for the Maps SDK for Android, Android Studio creates a handy google_maps_api.xml
file with your app's credentials.
Choose one of the following ways to get your API key from Android Studio:
- The fast, easy way: Use the link provided in the
google_maps_api.xml
file that Android Studio created for you:- Copy the link provided in the
google_maps_api.xml
file and paste it into your browser. The link takes you to the Google Cloud Platform Console and supplies the required information to the Google Cloud Platform Console via URL parameters, thus reducing the manual input required from you. - Follow the instructions to create a new project on the Google Cloud Platform Console or select an existing project.
- Create an Android-restricted API key for your project.
- Copy the resulting API key, go back to Android Studio, and paste the API key into the <string> element in the
google_maps_api.xml
file.
- Copy the link provided in the
- A slightly less fast way: Use the credentials provided in the
google_maps_api.xml
file that Android Studio created for you:- Copy the credentials provided in the
google_maps_api.xml
file. - Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console in your browser.
- Use the copied credentials to add your app to an existing API key or to create a new API key.
- Copy the credentials provided in the
Getting the certificate information yourself
If you didn't follow the getting started guide when creating your app, you need to get the SHA-1 fingerprint for your certificate yourself. First ensure that you are using the right certificate. You may have two certificates:
- A debug certificate: The Android SDK tools generate this certificate automatically when you do a debug build. Only use this certificate with apps that you're testing. Do not attempt to publish an app that's signed with a debug certificate. The debug certificate is described in more detail in Signing in Debug Mode in the Android Developer Documentation.
- A release certificate: The Android SDK tools generate this certificate when you do a release build. You can also generate this certificate using the
keytool
program. Use this certificate when you are ready to release your app to the world.

Follow the steps below to display a certificate's SHA-1 fingerprint using the keytool
program with the -v
parameter. For more information about Keytool, see the Oracle documentation.

Displaying the debug certificate fingerprint
Locate your debug keystore file. The file name is
debug.keystore
, and is created the first time you build your project. By default, it is stored in the same directory as your Android Virtual Device (AVD) files:- macOS and Linux:
~/.android/
- Windows Vista and Windows 7:
C:Usersyour_user_name.android
- macOS and Linux:
List the SHA-1 fingerprint:
For Linux or macOS, open a terminal window and enter the following:
For Windows Vista and Windows 7, run:
