Google does not make any official app for Windows phones. One can use the web version of Google maps. If you have moved from Android to Windows, you will probably use Google maps.

To get the best use of Google maps, you need to use a third-party app. You can use GMaps+, which has data from both the windows phone’s maps and Google Maps.
After installation, you get the option to use online or offline maps. If you have already downloaded your offline maps, you can choose that, or else you can use HERE maps, Google maps, or Google Earth. There is also a 3D maps and compass mode inside this app. There is also an option for voice commands.
