The card Panoramic of Google Maps refers the look
The main modification concerns the form Panoramicthe one that appears every time you are looking for a famous place (the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, etc.); In the past this page showed information such as timetables, reviews, suggestions and links to tickets in a block structure separated from lines. Now, however, Google is adopting a more modern approach, with anCard interface It is a more harmonious graphics, consistent with the guidelines of the Material 3 Expressive.
Among the first visible changes is the movement of the section Top timetableswhich previously was under the reviews and which was now immediately placed above them; A choice that in all probability arises from the need to make the consultation of the greater influx of a certain location more immediate, a particularly useful function for those who plan a visit avoiding the busiest hours.
Another interesting novelty concerns the area of checks and quick actions available in the same panoramic form, the options for suggest a change, measure the distance, add a missing place or insert a new activity have been transformed into real buttonsmore recognizable and accessible; Until now these actions were present but less evident, often lost in a crowded and not very intuitive interface.
It is good to emphasize that these options appear only when looking for a city, a country or a generic location, and not for individual commercial activities. The choice to view them as buttons evidently aims to stimulate a more active and collaborative use of Maps, simplifying the ways in which the user can contribute to the improvement of the information on the platform.
As always in these cases, it is necessary to remember that the identified features may not be released publicly, or may undergo changes before the official debut; However, the integration of these elements within the code suggests that Google is seriously testing the new layout, in view of a progressive release in the coming weeks or months.
