Google Maps has been consistently upgrading its interface, enhancing user experience through innovative features like satellite view and full-screen menus. The latest update introduces a new sheet-based design on Android devices, replacing the traditional full-screen menus to improve navigation. This redesign, now rolling out globally, ensures the map remains visible at all times.
The new interface features softer, more rounded corners and places greater emphasis on the map, making it more prominent throughout the app. This change helps users maintain context while navigating and gives Google Maps a sleeker, more streamlined look. The sheet-based design simplifies interactions and provides a clearer information hierarchy, enhancing the overall user experience.
With this update, users can view map details such as location, route, and surrounding landmarks without needing to switch back and forth, ensuring uninterrupted navigation and easier access to information.
