Google Maps Gets a New Look

Since the full fledge advent of google in the introduction of its new Pixel Phones google has been tirelessly working to revamp its softwares so that they are able to give a classy device integration with android and especially with google Pixel phones and one such new update has come in the shape of google maps latest updates .

Changes and Tweaks

The design of Google Maps doesn’t get updated very often it does update its maps data but the overall layout of the app has not been touched in the past by Google. So now they have done it and it’s kind of a big deal. Especially after the changes in the interface.

The latest tweaks are all about adding a bit more color to the interface and making things a little easier to pick out as a while on the move-cause that’s when we are mostly getting confused. What you see will also be more relevant to the mode of transport you’re using, too.

It makes sense for the items on the map to be more contextual and according to the mode of our movement. For example, if you’re looking at driving directions, the map will show things like petrol stations and station points.

You’ll get train stations in transit mode, and so on. All points of interest should be easier to identify at a glance thanks to the new color scheme, which you can see below. These changes will roll out to Maps and other Google products that use it over the next few weeks.

Websites and apps that use Google Maps API will also get the updates, but that might take a little longer depending on the traffic of that particular platform. Eventually, we’ll see a consistent, pastel-shaded Google Maps wherever we look.
