Google Maps receives a facelift Update with new Icons and Colour Scheme


It’s one of those Google Services that we use rather frequently.

On Wednesday, Google announced that they are updating Google Maps with a new look. “Now, we’re updating Google Maps with a new look that better reflects your world, right now,” says Google Maps Product Manager, Liz Hunt, in the post.
The company has updated driving, navigation, transit and explore maps so that they will highlight the information that is most relevant to each experience. Also, they have updated their colour scheme and added new icons so that you can quickly identify what point of interest you are looking for.

Thus, for example different points of interest will have a designated colour and icon so that it makes it easy to find it on the map. Churches, museums or even hospitals will have different colours and icons which is great for you to quickly find them on the map. Google also revealed a sheet of the new colours and icons that will help you get acquainted with the new look.
