2. Inside the Google Maps application folder, look for the file info. plist which you will open with iFile's text editor.
3. Through the text visible there, look for the entry UIDeviceFamily and modify the mention 1 in 2. 2 is the code that allows the application to run including on iPad tablets. After modification, save the file.
Now perform a respring of your tablet, and when it reopens you should be able to run the application on the entire iPad screen.
