Google Maps plan a reorganization for some elements
Google Maps is one of the most used and appreciated applications by users (Android and not), and with the next versions it should welcome different changes both among the menus and on the real maps.
Let’s start from settingswhich at the moment could be to some a little too confusing: we find a mix of buttons for the individual options and sub-sets of settings that some may find not particularly inspired. With version 25.34.00.796159725, the usual Assembradebug (via Android Authority) discovered that Google is working to reorganize some settings through categories: one more step may be necessary to reach one of the options, but the aim is to make simpler find what we seek. Here are some comparative screenshots (first two with the current version, and the other two with the new one).
We continue by taking a look at the renewals on the side maps, which they see Three new icons: the button above the compass in the top right (the one to select the type of map and details of the map) has a colorful touch, the same compass loses the white point in the center (wanting to be fussy), and we find a completely new appearance for the “sights” of the position of the moment. Here are the comparative screenshots (first two with the current version, and to the other two with the arrival).
Then there is a slight reorganization in the way Google Maps shows the information relating to places selected. Compared to the previous view (i.e. the current one), the buttons for the directions, the tickets and so on they are not higher in the place card, but remain “hidden” in the lower part of the screen; In addition, the preview D Street View It has an rounded form (“Squircle”), more in line with the changes introduced with the Material 3 Expressive. In the screen recording below we can appreciate the changes.
Finally, Google is working to introduce a new look for the application search interface. Maps allows you to start a search by displaying the Recent activities (useful for rising something already searched), but Big G is apparently evaluating an alternative layout that would add an option Explorer To consult the categories of places (restaurants, bars, parks, museums, shops and so on). This information is already accessible from the main view of the map, but evidently Google is trying to change something: moreover, it is not said that all the news just viewed and during the test will never see the light.
As always, the news seen in this “Teardown” are not yet available for users, and some may never be seen. What you can do is verify that you have the most recent version of Google Maps, making a leap on the Google Play Store through the more low -direct badge.
Do you like the changes described above or do you prefer the current application? Let us know yours.
