Google is Testing Major Design Change for Maps, Could Launch Soon

Google’s new design for Maps could get a public rollout very soon as it has started appearing on more and more Android smartphones. The design overhaul had initially been spotted in February this year, but it seems additional improvements to the appearance are coming soon.

9to5Google observed these changes, noting that many of the design adjustments are similar to those seen previously. The update includes altering several full-screen panels to display parts of the map in the background, offering users a contextual backdrop as they search for specific details.

The edges of these panels have been softened with more rounded corners, and buttons for closing or sharing the displayed information card are now more conveniently placed. The design previously tested in February featured a stacked layout for the panels, creating a layered effect, but this has been removed.
