Google Maps Updates Its Look In Celebration Of Its 15th Birthday

We all get used to life with Google Maps. Before  Google Maps, many of us had to print or write down the instruction when we wanted to go somewhere we don’t know the way. Driving while looking at the paper not to get lost is not safe. Google Maps has got a new look on mobile devices. With new updated features, it will provide users with more information and improvements.

We can see the most prominent change is the new layout designed to include five tabs: Commute, Contribute, Explore, Saved and Updates.

• Explore will provide users with information about attractive places near your location like a good bar, restaurant or a nice café.
• The Commute tab will show you the best way to go home from work or go to work from your house and provide updated information about the traffic as well as other ways you can go and more.
• Saved is provide a better way to get access to places and locations you unpinned on Google Maps. You can also share places you have saved easier with the new update Saved tab.
• You can find or create reviews and feedbacks about places you have experienced at Contribute tab. Besides, if you take part in Google’s Local Guides program, this tab will be a portal to contribute more information to Google Maps.
• The Update tabs, replacing the old You tab, helps complete the new design of Google Maps. It provides suggestions of new and interesting places, they may be places you’ve been to or recommended by others. In this tab, you can get connect and directly talk to businesses through chatting or calling for more information if you’re interested in them.

By combining augmented reality overlays with existing information and sensors, you can quickly get the right way and direction from Live View.

The new Google Maps icon with blue, yellow, green, and red totally matches the traditional logo of Google.

Google will also provide information about public transportation like subways, buses or trains including information about security, temperature and more. Users in Japan can even know how many carriages are available on the route they want to take.

There is an interesting thing in Google Maps for the 15th birthday celebration is the fun limited-time party car icon. Much of the information on Google Maps comes from riders. Therefore, to help future riders, Google will have surveys all over the world from March.

Live View is being improved with new AR overlays to help users get to places easier with the combination of real-world visual and arrows showing directions.
