Beware of poorly navigated travel with Google Maps! Google will be redesigning its mobile app to make it more efficient for people who want to optimize their summer trips. The changes to the “Cleaner Home Screen” will be mostly noticeable as this is being achieved by a specific simplification of the bottom bar.
Imagine a match in which a small number of rate icons are competing with each other for your attention. Google has aimed for this by simply removing the cluttered bar at the bottom. Google confirmed on Twitter that this refers to that eye-shaped logo and the button right below it, rather than the options you currently see on the search bar. Currently, this bar accommodates icons on Explore, Go, Saved Places, Contribute, and Updates.
What does it mean in that regard? These may be removed by Google, or consolidated into larger icons that include a variety of features. This will help you not to waste your quality time wondering what is behind the app icon.
In addition to navigation quarters, Google has introduced “new colored pins” that help locate specific locations. In addition to the map redesign that came out last year, the current Locations feature aims to be irrelevant. Moving forward from this, the new interface will emphasize guidance for directions, which will at the same time remove the bulky fullscreen user interface from the screen, contributing to a more pleasant and user-friendly experience.
These upcoming changes show that Google is an internet giant that will do everything possible to make navigation easier and more user-friendly. The user interface will be a natural inquiry, so finding your way and being surprised by new places will be a delightful experience come summer.
