In addition, a new font makes it easier to read names and addresses directly on the map. Elements that facilitate the use of Google Maps for all types of users.

areas of interest

It is, without a doubt, the great addition of this update Now we only have to focus on one orange shaded area to discover places, points of interest and establishments where you can carry out all kinds of activities. Areas where there is a large concentration of restaurants, bars and shops, and which are now marked and located by the Google algorithm, but also by human personnel to identify these places full of plans to carry out. All you have to do is zoom in on one of these areas of interest to discover everything it contains, and click on an establishment to see its details.

A more subtle color scheme

The colors have also changed on these revamped maps, and not just for roads.The idea is simple: to be able to differentiate at a glance between man-made environments and natural spaces From there, each element has its own color to be identified without any problem on the map. Hospitals, schools, areas with water, parks, places of interest, roads”¦ each place has its tonality, but it approaches the scheme of manufactured/natural that Google has managed to identify with this new chromatic approach. Something much more balanced and subtle compared to the previous colors.
