Several years ago, Google built a light version of Android, Android Go, for lower-end phones with slower processors and limited resources. Google released light “Go” versions of some of its own apps specifically for these phones, and one of them is Maps Go. On paper, there’s no reason you should use this barebones version of Google Maps if you already have the full-blown app on your phone. But I always install Google Maps Go in addition to Maps on my Android phones, even the most powerful ones. Why? Blame Maps.
