@lalajee, Thanks for posting in Q&A. 

According to your description, I know that you encountered an issue with Google Maps requiring you to be login in to use Direction and you want to know how to resolve this issue.

Based on my researching, I found it does not need an account, but it actually needs permission for location services. For some reason it wants you to sign in before the app will ask for location permissions. If you force the location permissions to 'allow' it will fix the issue. You can apply it via App Configuration Policy.

Here are steps to configure APP Configuration Policy:

1. Go to Intune Portal > click Apps > click App configuration policies.
2. Click Add > select managed devices > In targeted app option select Google Maps
3. In Configuration settings page click Add to add permissions

Please try above information and if there is any update, feel free to contact me.
