Maps

If we have been before the new update for the Google app that now divide the content into two tabs In order to better manage all those cards that are accumulating in the feed of this application, it seems that the app for Google maps is playing a bit of fun.

Some user has seen a number of significant changes in Google Maps since version 9.42.3. These have to do with Maps navigation interface in which, by clicking on the status bar, a menu will appear where you can access the search, alternative routes, directions and a direct access to the navigation settings.

It should be mentioned that alternative routes and directions They are now immersed in another level, but what are the options to opt for alternative routes appear in a larger size, which improves the interaction with this map app that is taking on more and more meaning for many.

The satellite image and traffic options also do the same by needing one more press to access them from the pop-up menu on the interface that has been updated.

From the alternative routes view you can also expand another menu, which gives the user the option to search and re-center the options, apart from what are directions and navigation settings.

This update to the navigation interface is being viewed by a limited group of users, so it may take days or weeks to be able to use it on our own smartphone in Google Maps. One way to activate it is to erase the app data, although it cannot be confirmed that these new menus can be accessed that appear in the images provided.
