Google Maps in your Android cellphone would possibly quickly look just a little completely different, with some customers already reporting that their app now has just a few visible adjustments.
Fortunately the redesign doesn’t drastically change Google Map’s performance, if something navigating the app must be just a little less complicated because of the structure alterations.
The largest distinction is that the menus for seeing extra in-depth details about a location, or journey choices for the way to get between two factors, now don’t fill the display once you open them. As an alternative, a little bit of the map is at all times nonetheless seen on the high of the display.
The menu additionally now seems prefer it’s sitting over the map – reasonably than being a separate display – with an apparent bar on the high of the menu indicating you’ll be able to swipe down to reduce it and an X button you’ll be able to faucet to shut it fully.
You would swipe down or faucet the again arrow on the high of the previous menu types to return to the map, however this visible redesign makes this clearer and makes closing the menu fully just a little less complicated too.
The opposite slight change is that the Instructions menu now lists the completely different transportation choices on the backside of the display more often than not – they solely transfer to the highest of the display once you open the menu totally.
Beforehand the choices sat on the high of the display. Bringing them all the way down to the underside ought to imply it’s simpler to begin navigation utilizing only one hand.
These adjustments ought to quickly seem in your Google Maps app in the event that they haven’t already. As reported by 9to5Google some customers are already seeing the adjustments of their app, although it’d take some time for it to succeed in everybody – you can too test the Play Retailer to see if the replace will be put in manually.
We count on this transformation might also arrive on the iOS model of Google Maps, however we’ll have to attend and see when it rolls out to a wider choice of customers.
