Hey Guys,
I have iPhone 5 - iOS 8.1.3.
I am from Pakistan.

I am facing an issue while installing official Google Maps. The official Google Maps app is not shown in Pakistani App store. When I searched for the Google Map app in Google, I found a link to the official Google Maps App. I opened the App store link from Google SERPS but I wasn't allowed to install because the App was in USA store and message appeared that the Google Map App is not available in Pakistan store.

I changed region in apple ID, & in iphone ... and upon installation, app store switches me to Pakistani store and message appears that specified Google maps is not available in Pakistani store.

Is there any solution to install the Official Google Map App?

iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.3

I already asked the question here, but didn't receive any help: discussions.apple.com/thread/7231857

If that app is not available, I don't think you can without jailbreaking. However, maybe someone else will have some insight.

It is against forum rules to post your personal contact information so please don't do it. In regard to installing the Google Maps app on your iPhone 6S when you reside in a country where is is unavailable, there's nothing we can do for you. You can either jailbreak your device and see if the option to download google Maps becomes available to you or you can use the native Maps app or any other Maps app that's available to download in your area.

Do you Pakistanis have Apple Maps on your device? Does it not work well? What other map alternative do you have in your App Store?

Yes we have. But the Apple Maps app in not a good one. Many cities are not even listed in the app. The whole northern area is almost blank in Apple Maps.
P.S. The areas are not disputed.
