Google Maps has already reached the 10 million download mark in just 48 hours since it launched last Wednesday, according to a Google+ post from Jeff Huber, senior vice president, commerce and local at Google.

Our traffic tracking service AppData shows that Google Maps has been the No. 1 app on the top free iPhone apps chart since last Friday.
